    It is ironic but true: the one reality science cannot reduce is the only reality we will ever know. This is why we need art.

    It was not a big smile, not particularly bold or polite or ironic or glib, not asking for anything or offering anything, not stringy or careless, not, in short, like any smile I had ever experienced before. But such a smile! You could burn a hole in the world with that smile.

When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been.
