Quote of the Day:
The beauties of the solid and material universe are but a part of the rich spectrum of existence. The one-tenth of an iceberg that is visible above the tideline of reality. Matter is that part of being that has crystallised, where the mind’s light has petrified to concrete substance.
Alan Moore (‘Promethea’)
