Rene Daumal Quotes

If I Were To Tell This Story The Way History Is Usually Written Or The Way Each Of Us Recalls His Own Past, Which Means Recording Only The Most Glorious Moments And Inventing A New Continuity For Them, I Should Omit These Little Details And Say That Our Eight Stout Hearts Drummed From Morning To Night In Time With A Single All-encompassing Desire - Or Some Such Lie. But The Flame That Kindles Desire And Illuminates Thought Never Burned For More Than A Few Seconds At A Stretch. The Rest Of The Time We Tried To Remember It.
Fortunately The Demands Of Daily Work, In Which Each Of Us Had His Vital Role, Reminded Us That We Had Come Aboard Of Our Own Free Will, That We Were Indispensable To One Another, And That We Were On A Ship - That Is To Say, In A Temporary Habitation, Designed To Transport Us Somewhere Else. If Anyone Forgot It, Someone Else Lost No Time In Reminding Him.
