Alan Lightman Quotes

Will These Millions Of Children, For Generations Upon Future Generations, Know That Some Of Their Atoms Cycled Through This Woman? [ ... ] Will They Feel What She Felt In Her Life, Will Their Memories Have Flickering Strokes Of Her Memories, Will They Recall That Moment Long Ago When She Stood By The Window, Guilt Ridden And Confused, And Watched As The Tadr Bird Circled The Cistern? No, It Is Not Possible. [ ... ] But I Will Let Them Have Their Own Brief Glimpse Of The Void, Just At That Moment They Pass From Living To Dead, From Animate To Inanimate, From Consciousness To That Which Has No Consciousness. For A Moment, They Will Understand Infinity.
