Quote

“The point of orientation is the turning towards transcendence. The superficiality of our existence today has lost sight of the fact that there is a transcendent area alongside the material area; which remains inaccessible to measuring science, which ultimately eludes the word. But that is precisely the dimension from which the real forces of life come. It is of course not feasible, not "feasible". (About the Gray Edition ) "
