An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON ECSTASY
Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.
Georges Bataille (1897-1962, French novelist, critic)
O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it.
St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582, Spanish saint, mystic)
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles (1915-1985, American film maker)
