Famous quotes with Odorless

  • Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air.
    Georges Bernanos
  • I do not care what face other ages and other people have given to the enormous, faceless essence.They have fulfilled their duty. But today we have gone beyond these needs; we have shattered this particular mask of the Abyss; our God no longer fits under the old features.The mystery has grown savage, and God has grown greater.Let us stoop down to our hearts and confront the Abyss valiantly.For our God is not an abstract thought, a logical necessity, a high and harmonious structure made of deductions and speculations. He is not an immaculate, neutral, odorless, distilled product of our brains, neither male nor female. He is both man and woman, mortal and immortal, dung and spirit. He gives birth, fecundates, slaughters — death and eros in one — and then he begets and slays once more, dancing spaciously beyond the boundaries of a logic which cannot contain the antinomies.
    Nikos Kazantzakis
  • "I was standing outside myself trying to stop those hangings with ghost fingers. . . . I am a ghost wanting what every ghost wants—a body—after the Long Time moving through odorless alleys of space where no life is only the colorless no smell of death. . . . Nobody can breathe and smell it through pink convulsions of gristle laced with crystal snot, time shit and black blood filters of flesh"
    William S. Burroughs
