“Being around humans over a long period of time taught me to understand that their impatience and ambition and their constant need for hurry, hurry, hurry is just their way of attempting to outrace their own mortality.”

“A ‘why’ is a dangerous thing,” said Haplo. “It challenges old, comfortable ways; forces people to think about what they do instead of just mindlessly doing it. No wonder your people are afraid of it.” “I think the danger is not so much in asking the ‘why’ as in believing you have come up with the only answer,” said Alfred, seeming almost to be talking to himself.”
― Margaret Weis, Dragon Wing

How can we put our faith in this? In something we don’t understand?” “What is faith?” Alfred asked gently, not talking to her but to himself. “Believing in something you do not understand. And how can we poor mortals understand that vast and terrible and wonderful mind?”
