I can no longer understand anything, because behind the words on the page, which have their own heavenly brightness, to be sure, there shines an even brighter, an enormous, dazzling -why- that blots out everything, cancels out, destroys all meaning. All individual intelligence. When one has understood, one stops, satisfied with what one has understood. I do not understand. Understanding is far too little. To have understood is to be fixed, immobilized. It is as though one wanted to stop on one step in the middle of a staircase, or with one foot in the void and the other on the endless stair. But a mere why, a new why can set one off again, can unpetrify what was petrified and everything starts flowing afresh. How can one understand? One cannot.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Eugène Ionesco" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/eug-ne-ionesco/i-read-a-page-of-plato-s-great-work-i-can-no-longer-understand/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e4f/eug-ne-ionesco-1878_beyond-words_i-read-a-page-of-plato-s-great-work-i-ca_257929.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e4f/eug-ne-ionesco-1878_beyond-words_i-read-a-page-of-plato-s-great-work-i-ca_257929.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e4f/eug-ne-ionesco-1878_beyond-words_i-read-a-page-of-plato-s-great-work-i-ca_257929.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I read a page of Plato's great work.
