““Certain acts dazzle us and light up blurred surfaces, if our eyes are sharp enough to see them in a flash, for the beauty of a living thing can be grasped only fleetingly. To pursue it during its changes leads us inevitably to the moment when it ceases, for it cannot last a lifetime. And to analyze it, that is, to pursue it in time with the sight and the imagination, is to view it in its decline, for following the marvelous moment in which it reveals itself, it diminishes in intensity.””
![“Whensoever we would proceed beyond [the] simple ideas we have from sensation and reflection, and dive farther into the nature of things, we fall presently into darkness and obscurity, perplexedness and difficulties;and can discover nothing farther but our own blindnessand ignorance.” quote by John Locke](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8bc/john-locke-814_darkness_whensoever-we-would-proceed-beyond-the-s_199491.jpg)
