“Imagine you’re a fish, swimming in a pond. You can move forward and back, side to side, but never up out of the water. If someone were standing beside the pond, watching you, you’d have no idea they were there. To you, that little pond is an entire universe. Now imagine that someone reaches down and lifts you out of the pond. You see that what you thought was the entire world is only a small pool. You see other ponds. Trees. The sky above. You realize you’re a part of a much larger and more mysterious reality than you had ever dreamed of.”
― Blake Crouch, Dark Matter

“To know and to think we know not, is the crown. Not to know and to think we know, is the affliction.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Courage isn't an absence of fear', cried out Sara. 'It's the light we find when fear is all there is. You're needed now, so find your courage”
