“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

Contrariwise
“Each man lives in many worlds within different life.
Mind can only see world in which it lived and located.”
— Toba Beta, “My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut”

“A human being is a being who is constantly ‘under construction’, but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.”
(Jose Saramago)
