If I had a world of my own. Everything would be nonsense. nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn&#039;t. And contrary wise what it is wouldn&#039;t be. And what it wouldn&#039;t be it would. You see?<br /> <br /> -Alice in wonderland

&ldquo;Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees. Reminding us, that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world&rsquo;s stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp &ndash; and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all it&rsquo;s immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble.&rdquo;
