“- What is it you would have me see?
- The way the world is made. The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other is white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. [. . . ] Death and life. Everywhere, opposites. Everywhere, the war.” G.R.R. Martin
“Somewhere there is something incredible waiting to be known.” Carl Sagan
