William Blake
“If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out.”
― William Blake

G.K. Chesterton
“Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front--”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday

Jean-Paul Sartre
“This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it.

― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Joseph Conrad
“It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream--making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams...No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence.

weaves from the world's beginning to our day.”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses
