"Any cultural moment whatever can provide the fullest revelation of the sacred to which the human condition is capable of acceding."

"Everywhere in the cosmos archaic man recognizes a source of the sacred, that any fragment of the cosmos can give rise to a hierophany."
|
|

"In the humblest hierophany there is an eternal new beginning, an eternal return to an atemporal moment."

"The sacred does not cease to manifest itself, and with each new manifestation it resumes its original tendency to reveal itself wholly….at every moment a fuller revelation of the sacred remains possible."
