while the scientist sees everything that happens in one point of space,
the poet feels everything that happens in one point of time. - Vladimir Nabokov

while the scientist sees everything that happens in one point of space, the poet feels everything that happens in one point of time.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov (22 April (O.S. 10 April) 1899 – 2 July 1977) was a Russian-American writer. He wrote his first literary works in Russian, but gained international prominence as a masterly prose stylist for the novels he composed in English; his Lolita (1955) is frequently cited as one of the most important novels of the 20th century.

Unless a film of flesh envelops us, we die. Man exists only insofar as he is separated from his surroundings. The cranium is a space-traveler's helmet. Stay inside or you perish. Death is divestment, death is communion.
the evolution of sense, in a sense, is the evolution of non sense
