"The actions of men cannot be measured with the staight ruler of the understanding, which is rigid. . . The imprudent scholars, who go directly from the universally true to the singular, rupture the inter-connections of life. The wise men, however, who attain the eternal truth by the uneven and insecure paths of practice, make a detour, as it is not possible to attain this by a direct road." (Giambattista Vico)

"It's the most breathtakingly ironic things about living: the fact that we are all-identical twins included-alone. Singular. And yet what we seek-what saves us-is our connection to others. . . The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves." Wally Lamb
