Sayings to go with!

The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books.

- a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.

--- Albert Einstein
