A Day After January 6

From The World of Silence by Max Picard, first published Verlag, Erlenbach, Switzerland, 1948—

“There is a radiance surrounding truth, and this radiance is a sign that truth has an impulse to expand in all directions.”

“The radiance surrounding truth is beauty. In this way truth is able to penetrate far and wide; the radiance of beauty prepares the way for truth; it occupies all space in advance of truth and for truth. The truth is already present everywhere.” (p.34).
