As a bit of a partner to this thread, what is it that you genuinely find quite profound?

Milan Kundera, Beth Gibbon's voice, thinking about four-dimensional vector maths while half asleep in bed in the early morning, my dreams.

Loads and loads of things. I could hardly begin to list them.

What Erikson is that, Anthony? I'd like it if it were Steve, a writer I was recommending to you on another thread, but given that the name is next to Aalto I am guessing that it is Arthur the architect (um, this is a real top architect, not some children's cartoon character, people...).

Everything I care about that isn't me, because I KNOW I'm not profound.

Hiking in the desert, then lying on my back once the sun sets & looking at MILLIONS of stars. I never knew until a few years ago that you could actually see the milky way on some nights- it's gorgeous.

genuinely? Nothing.

Iris Murdoch's literary and cultural criticism. Not a big fan of her novels, or her philosophical writings with their Plato/morality obsessions. But her brief writings on nineteenth and twentieth century art and literature (I doubt they total more than 30-50 pages) make her the best critic of the century IMO.
