“Who knows for certain?
Who shall here declare it?
Whence was it born, whence came creation?
The gods are later than
this world's formation;
Who then can know the origins of the world?
None knows whence creation arose;
And whether he has or has not made it;
He who surveys it from the lofty skies.
Only he knows-
or perhaps he knows not.”
― The Rig Veda

“Doctor: 'You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak.'
Bruce: 'Why?'
Doctor: 'How can you move faster then possible, fight longer then possible, without the most powerful impulse of the spirit? The fear of death.'
Bruce:'I do fear death. I fear dying in here while my city burns. And there's no one there to save it.'
Doctor: 'Then make the climb.'
Bruce: 'How?'
Doctor: 'As the child did - without the rope. Then fear will find you again.”
