Yaratılış 1:2.
Terra autem erat ınanıs… et vacua… et tenebrae erant… super facıem abyssı… et spırutus del… ferebatur super aquas… fakat yeryüzü ıssızdı…ve bomboştu… ve karanlıklar vardı… boşluğun tepesinde … ve Tanrı’nın ruhu… süzülüyordu suların üzerinde.

When Europeans eventually made their way to east Africa, they were astonished at what they found. A Portuguese travel log from the sixteenth century puts it vividly: “No country in the world is so full of churches, monasteries, and ecclesiastics as Abyssinia [Ethiopia]; it is not possible to sing in one church without being heard by another, and perhaps by several.”

Mücellit Nedir ?
To the question ‘What am I?’, Stirner replies: ‘An abyss of lawless and unregulated impulses, desires, wishes, passions, chaos without light or guiding star’.
See them clamber, these nimble apes! They clamber over one another and so scuffle into the mud and the abyss. They all strive towards the throne: it is madness they have — as if happiness sat upon the throne! Often filth sits upon the throne — and often the throne upon filth, too.

It was the hand on her rounded belly. She stared toward him, hair still flowing. Behind her, four small figures emerged. Rowan fell to his knees. The tallest: a girl with golden hair and pine-green eyes, solemn-faced and as proud as her mother. The boy beside her, nearly her height, smiled at him, warm and bright, his Ashryver eyes near-glowing beneath his cap of silver hair. The boy next to him, silver-haired and green-eyed, might

Latinler ne doğru demişler: Abyssus abyssum invoc (uçurum uçurumu çağırır). Senin bitmek bilmeyen uçurumlarından sağ çıkmak herkesin harcı değil.
