“Every belief will be outgrown, in time. The first lesson of the universe is to never reason from only a single instance. Unless you only have one instance. In which case: find another.”

“I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand— … While I weep—while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?”
― John Tresch, The Reason for the Darkness of the Night: Edgar Allan Poe and the Forging of American Science
