“After all that I'd been through, after all that I'd learned and all that I'd been given, I was going to do what I had been doing every day for the last few years now: just show up and do the best that I could do with whatever lay in front of me.”
― Michael J. Fox, Lucky Man

“It’s stranger than every strangeness
And the dreams of all the poets
And the thoughts of all the philosophers,
That things are really what they seem to be
And there’s nothing to understand.”
― Alberto Caeiro, The Keeper of Sheep

FYI:
"If you take the deepest image ever created of the distant Universe, the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field, and extrapolate over the whole sky, you'd estimate there were ~170 billion galaxies in the observable Universe. A detailed theoretical simulation predicted far more faint, small galaxies than we've seen, upping the expected total to closer to 2 trillion. But recent observational evidence shows that even that estimate is far too low. Instead, there are between 6 and 20 trillion galaxies out there. Carl Sagan's "billions and billions" was far too low of a guess."--- https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/galaxies-in-universe/

"It was November, the month of
crimson sunsets, parting birds,
deep, sad hymns of the sea,
passionate wind-songs in the
pines.

Anne roamed through the
pineland alleys in the park and,
as she said, let that great
sweeping wind blow the fogs
out of her soul."

“When he was dry, he believed it was alcohol he needed, but when he had a few drinks in him, he knew it was something else, possibly a woman; and when he had it all -- cash, booze, and a wife -- he couldn't be distracted from the great emptiness that was always falling through him and never hit the ground.”

“Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them. ”
― Alfred North Whitehead
 
"I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on
in the world between the covers of books,
such sandstorms and ice blasts of words,
such staggering peace, such enormous laughter,
such and so many blinding bright lights,
splashing all over the pages
in a million bits and pieces
all of which were words, words, words,
and each of which were alive forever
in its own delight and glory and oddity and light."
-- Dylan Thomas
 
"I knew that the strings of coincidences suddenly fluttering around me during the course of that week, after months of absence, were the Sublime's way of communicating anonymously through the machinery of the world. But I felt no joy or great sense of revelation from them. The Transcendent was either a cryptologist or a wellspring of alien reasoning. Or just a monkey playing with the controls." -- Fran Spenser, There Are No Strip Clubs In Bridgecaster

“We know that attention acts as a lightning rod. Merely by concentrating on something one causes endless analogies to collect around it, even penetrate the boundaries of the subject itself: an experience that we call coincidence, serendipity – the terminology is extensive. My experience has been that in these circular travels what is really significant surrounds a central absence, an absence that, paradoxically, is the text being written or to be written.”
― Julio Cortázar, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds
 
“Where are the people?” resumed the little prince at last. “It’s a little lonely in the desert…” “It is lonely when you’re among people, too,” said the snake.”
