This world is wondrous and vast, but it's through books best discovered. Sounds nice, but is it true? I wonder. If one were to claim no knowledge but for books, would that knowledge amount to much? Consider how Einstein put it: 'As far as literature refers to reality, it is not certain; and as far as it is certain, it does not refer to reality.’ Or something like that. The point is, Nikole and I, we don't know, but we do know books.

About reality? About a monster, then: a hydra, to conquer which we must go straight for the heart. What good has reason in this fight for our lives? What good morality? What beauty? So asks the philosopher, noble creature, absurd creature.
