Comprehension
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents… some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.”
— H.P. Lovecraft, The Call Of Cthulhu

The Past Is Beautiful
“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.”
— Virginia Woolf, Moments of Being

Perception
“Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.”
— David Hume, Of the Standard of Taste and Other Essays
Perspective
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
— Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
October Fan
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
— L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
