These are the moments of revelation which compensate for the chaos, the discomfort, the toil of living.

You cannot speak of the ocean to a frog that lives in a well.

One should never condemn what one cannot understand.

That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way ... I want to take words as ordinary as bread. Or life. Or death. Cliches. I want to have my nose rubbed in cliches.

Our brains are not capable of comprehending the infinite so, instead, we ignore it and eat cheese on toast.
