In the Land of Truth, my friend, the man with one fact is King.

You can't be a bad boy without somebody scolding you.

There will be a machina mundi whose centre, so to speak, is everywhere, whose circumference is nowhere, for God is its circumference and centre and He is everywhere and nowhere.

The camera itself, the photograph itself, calls up death.
