  • Philosophy finds itself to be no longer anything but the heir to a fabulous mystical theology, but missing a God and wiping the slate clean.

    "'L'Expérience Intérieure' ('Inner Experience')". Book by Georges Bataille, translated by Leslie Anne Boldt, p. 9, 1988.
  • It is through an "intimate cessation of all intellectual operations" that the mind is laid bare. If nor, discourse maintains it in its little complacency. ...

    Georges Bataille (1988). “Inner Experience”, p.13, SUNY Press
