"God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through"
- Paul Valery
About this Quote
This quote by Paul Valery talks to the idea that although God developed the world and everything in it, there is still a sense of nothingness that pervades it. This nothingness is a tip of the truth that the world is eventually transient and impermanent. It is a tip that all of the charm and complexity of the world is ultimately short lived which absolutely nothing lasts forever. This nothingness is a reminder of the ultimate truth that all of the things we experience in life are eventually simply impressions. Valery's quote is a pointer to appreciate the beauty of the world while we can, and to not become too connected to it, as it will ultimately pass away.
