the world has turned and left me here

on "The Alchemist"

Coelho I respectfully disagree with you. Destiny is never so simple as that. To inject purpose into life is to falsify it. What we seek out is not a point in space-time, but a volume (perhaps infinite). I do not want to write "the program," but simply to do some programming. Similarly, Eric does not want to unify physics by making the Standard Model flawless, but simply to do physics. It is not a point that can be reached, for if it was reached, what then?

What you seek transforms you. If you seek a point you will become (or remain) one-dimensional.
