Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.

About This Quote

The quote, “Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.” is about the infinite possibilities that exist beyond our dimension. Somewhere in this place of endless possibility, there is a space where everything we understand and everything we know to be true – all of it – is just a part of something larger than any one person could ever know.
