"... we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness."

Quotation #26857 from Michael Moncur's (Cynical) Quotations:

The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.
Andre Malraux
French author & resistance leader (1901 - 1976)
