A Favorite Quote


One of my favorite quotes from His Dark Materials is on page 274. Lord Asriel says, "But think of Adam and Eve like an imaginary number, like the square root of minus one: you can never see any concrete proof that it exists, but if you include it in you equations, you can calculate all manner of things that couldn't be imagined without it."

This idea goes along with one of my earlier blogs about children being able to believe anything and everything. Having an open mind will never hinder you, it can only introduce you to more than you previously thought.
