Quotes by Marc-Alain Ouaknin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There is no such thing as passive receiving of Tradition. He who receives, the disciple, is always — must always be — the scene of a creation. To receive is to create, to innovate! 'The petrification of acquired knowledge — the freezing of spiritual things — allowing itself to be placed like an inert content in the mind and to be handed on, frozen, from one generation to another, is not real transmission….' Handing on is 'resumption, life, invention and renewal, a mode without which revealed thinking, that is to say, thinking which is authentically thought, is not possible.”
Marc-Alain Ouaknin, The Burnt Book
