Quotes About Invisible

The clerestories were soft with evening light. Through them, to the east, I saw something invisible from the road: a short gibbet. From it a bundle dangled, turning a little. A crow picked at it. At first I thought nothing because I could think nothing. Then I thought, So that's what smells.
~ Betsy James

Religion is a belief in invisible beings, inaudible voices, intangible entities, undetectable forces, and events and judgments that happen after we die. It therefore has no reality check. And it is therefore uniquely armored against criticism, questioning, and self-correction. It is uniquely armored against anything that might stop it from spinning into extreme absurdity, extreme denial of reality… and extreme, grotesque immorality.

Est-ce que nous voyons la cent millième partie de ce qui existe ? Tenez, voici le vent, qui est la plus grande force de la nature, qui renverse les hommes, abat les édifices, déracine les arbres, soulève la mer en montagnes d'eau, détruit les falaises, et jette aux brisants les grands navires, le vent qui tue, qui siffle, qui gémit, qui mugit, – l'avez-vous vu, et pouvez-vous le voir ? Il existe, pourtant.

Su locura, su idea, estaba allí, en aquella cabeza obstinada, torturante, devoradora. Se comía el cuerpo poco a poco. Ella la invisible, la impalpable, la inalcanzable, la inmaterial idea minaba la carne, bebía la sangre, apagaba la vida

Gewahren wir denn wirklich den hundertsten Teil von all dem, was es gibt? Sehen Sie, der Wind, die größte Naturkraft, die Menschen umwirft, Häuser vom Boden fegt, Bäume entwurzelt, das Meer in Wasserbergen aufwühlt, Klippen und Felsen zermalmt und die mächtigsten Schiffe in die Brandung hinaus wirft, der Wind, der tötet, pfeift, stöhnt, brüllt - haben Sie den schon gesehen und können Sie ihn sehen? Und trotzdem ist er doch da.
~ Guy de Maupassant
