The Greatest Story Ever Told—So Far

Light does not have consciousness, but the mathematical result makes it appear as if light chooses the shortest distance.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away

The hardest thing of all to see is what is really there.
—J. A. BAKER, THE PEREGRINE

It only has to do with the respect with which we regard one another, the dignity of men, our love of culture. . . . It has to do with, are we good painters, good sculptors, great poets? I mean all the things that we really venerate and honor in our country and are patriotic about. In that sense, this new knowledge has all to do with honor and country, but it has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to help make it worth defending.
