"This much I knew and know: I was making myself hideously uncomfortable by not narrowing my attention to details of life which were immediately important, and by refusing to believe what my neighbors believed."
"We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature...is still soaked with the sense of exile." JRR Tolkien
