- "La joie est née avant la lumière, Saint-rémy". (Handwritten poem in India ink by Remy De Muynck on the flyleaf).
- Zen poetry is not merely a record of religious experience, but an attempt to capture the absolute immediacy of the world. It is the art of saying everything by saying almost nothing.
