"The power of a thing is not based on the power it actually possesses. Rather, it is much more about the power that we permit it to possess."

"If I wholly unleash my imagination and forcefully stretch it out beyond its own edges, even at such a point I can only imagine a thin shard of this most immense God. And even though it is but a thin shard, it will nonetheless be mesmerizingly colossal."
