„Jdi do svého nitra, zaklepej tam a zeptej se svého srdce, co ví.“
We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.
The Archaic Revival (1991)
Kontext: The Beliefs of a Witoto shaman and the beliefs of a Princeton phenomenologist have an equal chance of being correct, and there are no arbiters of who is right. Here is something we have not assimilated. We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.
„Jdi do svého nitra, zaklepej tam a zeptej se svého srdce, co ví.“

„Když se podíváš do svého srdce a nenajdeš tam nic špatného, čeho se pak obávat? Čeho se bát?“
„Srdce ženy!… Kdo může doufat, že změří jeho hlubiny.“
„Cítím, že jsem hnán za cílem, který neznám. Až ho dosáhnu, postačí atom, aby mě srazil.“
