A quote

“All creatures were limited in their scope of understanding. We were continually impressed to learn how much animals and insects could do. Bess, for instance, could take instructions from signs. But the most striking thing about animals was that they had no conception of how tethered they were to their respective worlds. There was no reason why human beings should be any different in that respect. Like animals, we possessed a horizon of understanding within which our thoughts could freely move, and the space in which they moved was our reality. The edges of that horizon were mists where everything blurred, and beyond the mists was a wall, everything after that was unreachable to us. The nature of the mind was something that lay beyond our horizon of understanding. The nature of the universe and the atoms: beyond. Time: beyond. Death: beyond.”
