Random quote of the day:
“As soon as we make a definite assertion about the nature of reality, reality itself—soul, imagination, the unconscious and (the best model of all) Mercurius—immediately constellates its opposite. Whenever we think we have captured reality, and pinned the daimon down, he has in fact already slipped away; we are left with an empty mask.”
—Patrick Harpur, The Philosophers’ Secret Fire
