“I’d believed— fool that I was— that because I knew this end was coming, I was prepared, that I would not grieve as I had. As if one can pre-grieve and get it out of the way. It’s not true.

“Art expresses beauty and truth," Georgia said. "It's a gift. It's meant to be experienced and interacted with not used. That's what's so gross about what the Distortionists do. They use art instead of making it or even enjoying it. They turn art into propaganda.”

“Facts,” murmured Basil, like one mentioning some strange, far-off animals, “how facts obscure the truth.

Facts point in all directions, it seems to me, like the thousands of twigs on a tree. It's only the life of the tree that has unity and goes up—only the green blood that springs, like a fountain, at the stars.”
