"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees.

But the truth of a sea in all it's immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz
