The Aphorism may not offer truth, but it does offer the diverse, skewed, surprising truths we delight in answering to.

Attention founders between seeking and looking after.

Distance is always at work creating illusions. The sad promise of stars is that, because they are so far away, they at least seem close together.

The Loophole is paradigmatic of our age. The modern search for truth too often seems like a search for some loophole.

Mystery is at home in the world. The world is but a strange mixture of mystery and circularity.

Pessimism is grounded in the idea that sometimes you have to spit on the world to make it shine.

The Second thought is tinder for the flames of Hell.

Suffering warps what it fails to unlock.

A Thought is like a night in that the clear ones are always beautiful and cold.

Truth is such that the modern search for truth too often seems like a search for some loophole.
