“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of universe together into one garment for us.”

“Donna can’t believe that one person could own all of these clothes. My thoughts turn, as I’m sure do yours, to moth management. Sometimes people ask me what I do, and the correct answer is ‘almost nothing’, but if pressed, I might say that I’m a writer.”

“At the subatomic level, reality is the collection of all possible quantum objects (Objects in an axiomatic sense), for example, an electron exists genuinely before measurement. Objects are devoid of experimental content, belonging to the 'hidden' (implicit) reality, about which one can only say that it exists (ontic truth – Def. 7.2.) and serves as a substrate (ex nihilo nihil fit) for S-objects (e.g., an electron after measurement), appearing as the effect of measurement performed by an observer (ontic truth). S-construct is essentially a model of S-object (e.g., characteristics of an electron after measurement), providing a more or less experimentally verified characterization of the electron as such (correspondence truth – Def. 7.2.). In the case of RAES, the electron is an abstract-essential entity that exists independently of the knowing subject and physical reality but can be reconstructed by the knowing subject (if it exists at all) in an infinite series of approximations (asymptotic truth – Def. 7.2.)”

“"Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words." A glib saying. When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”
