“We do not go around and discard the intellect, but we must go through and beyond it.”
Section 1.16 <!-- p. 43 -->
The Crosswicks Journal, A Circle of Quiet (1972)
Context: It is all, as usual, paradox. I have to use what intellect I have in order to write books, but I write the kind of books I do in order that I may try to set down glimpses of things that are on the other side of the intellect. We do not go around and discard the intellect, but we must go through and beyond it.
