“What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instinct of beasts.”

“We do not know what things look like. We know what things are like. It must be a very limiting thing,this seeing. -Aunt Beast”

“You boys know what tropism is, it's what makes a plant grow toward the light. Everything aspires to the light. You don't have to chase down a fly to get rid of it - you just darken the room, leave a crack of light in a window, and out he goes. Works every time. We all have that instinct, that aspiration. Science can't dim that. All science can do is turn out the false lights so the true light can get us home.”

“There are some things we might not know, but that doesn't mean we should give up. We can find out what we need to know. We can find out everything”

“but if I've learned anything, it's that we don't know half of what we think we do. And we know ourselves least of all.”

“We are what we think we are, we become what we believe we can and we achieve our greatest dreams through the encouragement of our peers” ~ Katrina Gurl”
