The Placid Island of Ignorance
Terrence McKenna
Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto
Terrence McKenna
for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal.
HP Lovecraft
We live on a placid island of ignorance
HP Lovecraft
in the midst of black seas of infinity,
HP Lovecraft
and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
HP Lovecraft
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents
HP Lovecraft
some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality,
HP Lovecraft
and of our frightful position therein,
HP Lovecraft
that we shall either go mad from the revelation
HP Lovecraft
or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.
