At that meeting he was struck for the first time by the endless variety of men's minds, which prevents a truth from ever presenting itself identically to two persons.
Looking back for this quote to reflect on what I'm learning in epistemology

“فيا قارئي ، يا رفيقَ الطريقِ
أنا الشَّـفتانِ ، و أنتَ الصـدى
ســـــألتك بالله .. كن ناعـــــــمًا
إذا ما ضممتَ حروفي غـدًا
تذكّــــر - وَ أنت تمـُـــرُّ علـــــيها
عذابَ الحروفِ لكَيْ توجَدَا”

“Imagine what would have happened had the logicist endeavor been entirely successful. This would have implied that mathematics stems fully from logic-literally from the laws of thought. But how could such a deductive science so marvelously fit natural phenomena? What is the relation between formal logic (maybe we should even say human formal logic) and the cosmos? The answer did not become any clearer after Hilbert and Godel. Now all that existed was an incomplete formal "game," expressed in mathematical language. How could models based on such an "unreliable" system produce deep insights about the universe and its workings?”

“Night descends as a falling blanket. The city is a constellation of lights, each one representing a hand that turned the lightbulb. A hand attached to a mind containing a universe of memories and myths; a natural history of loves and wounds.
Life everywhere. Pulsing, humming. A great wheel turning. A light blinks out here, one replaces it there. Always dying. Always living. We survive until we don’t.
All of this ending and beginning is the only thing that is infinite.”
