A Breath of Life

"I must, I must, before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet, a thing that is not love or hare or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the fearful passionless force of nonhuman things... I want to stand at the rim of the world, and peer into the darkness beyond, and see a little more than others have seen of the strange shapes of mystery that inhabit that unknown night..."

- Bertrand Russell
