All the intelligence in the world is useless to the one who has none.

Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.

Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.

Birth means nothing where there is no virtue.

Le soleil ni la mort ne se peuvent regarder
fixement.

The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.

You’ve seen the world, and all you’ve seen is nothing; and everything, as well, that you have said and heard is nothing. You’ve sprinted everywhere between here and the horizon; it is nothing. And all the possessions you’ve treasured up at home are nothing.

The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere is to be nowhere.es

La vraie vie est absente. Nous ne sommes pas au monde.

To the untrue man, the whole universe is false — it is impalpable — it shrinks to nothing within his grasp.

If there were no emptiness, there would be no life.

To be no part of any body, is to be nothing.

The ignorant man passes through the world dead to all pleasures, save those of the senses.

Until man is nothing, God can make nothing of him. - Martin Luther
