About This Quote
We are all insects. Groping towards something terrible or divine. Sometimes the world seems like some kind of fantastic dream, but it’s an illusion. It’s like someone who is dreaming.
They don’t know if they are sleeping or awake. The same thing happens with us. We don’t know if we are asleep or awake.
We are all just sentenced to live the same lives over and over again, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t grateful for the experience.
