„The only hidden meaning of thingsIs that they have no hidden meaning.It’s the strangest thing of all,Stranger than all poets’ dreamsAnd all philosophers’ thoughts,That things are really what they seem to beAnd there’s nothing to understand.Yes, this is what my senses learned on their own:Things have no meaning: they have existence.Things are the only hidden meaning of things.“

— Fernando Pessoa

„There're things we keep hidden from one another. Things we hide from ourselves. Things that are kept hidden from us. And things no one knows. You always learn the damnedest things at the worst possible times.“
— Jim Butcher
