Decorations-in-a-ruined-cemetary Quote by John Gregory Brown

“We make sense of the world, some philosopher once said, only through its rearrangement, through a constant shift in perspective coupled with a slight movement of this or that here and there and then here again. In that manner, in the imperfections such movements reveal, the truth becomes apparent.” quote by John Gregory Brown
