“The more certain details are, the less likely they are to be the greatest matters. It would take all the details on every continent and then some, he thought, as he took a sip of Swan Lager, to add up to complete understanding.
The greatest matters lie beyond death, beyond the stars, in the aorta of time. A corpse is a detail. A second of starlight, even from the mid-Pacific sky full of a stars, is a detail. No matter how many details he might acquire, he would never arrive at truth here on the Indian Ocean.
No matter. He would settle for a little more knowledge. Let understanding come when it choose.”
― Harry's Fragments: A Novel of International Puzzlement
