“That we can never know," answered the wolf angrily. "That's for the future. But what we can know is the importance of what we owe to the present. Here and now, and nowhere else.

We don't even have the instrument to do it, because our mind & our world are the same thing.”
“We will go. Nowhere we know. We don't have to talk at all.”
