Quotes from Desmond Manderson

Lest we forget—that we are not the measure of all things. That reality has a force which we cannot legislate or legislate away. Lest we forget—that we are all carried out into the deep. I dream of escape, of swimming or floating or rafting away. And I dream of staying, of building monuments and religions and civilisations. But in the end we can't stay and we can't escape. So here I sit silent and restless.
