Power and control are an illusion, all we have are the relationship of measured things and incomplete descriptions.

R. A. Delmonico
About This Quote

The things we create and our creations are illusions. Nothing we do is perfect and we can never recreate something that has already vanished. Every time we create something, we strive for perfection and that is what makes us feel good. While it is admirable to want to create something that will last forever, it’s simply not possible.

The things we create are mere constructs of the mind. Even the things that are most beautiful are soon destroyed by time.
