The Weariness of All Hypotheses

 "The countryside is always where we aren't. There, and there alone, do real trees and real shade exist.

Life is the hesitation between an exclamation and a question. Doubt is resolved by a period.

Miracles are God's laziness - or rather, the laziness we ascribe to God when we invent miracles.

The Gods are the incarnation of what we can never be.

The weariness of all hypotheses . . ."

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet, ch. 375

The beauty of The Book of Disquiet is Pessoa endlessly observing, reflecting, and asking questions - and leaving us to not answer them as we see fit.
