This
is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me, 'Time is a flat
circle.' Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over
and over again.
Rust Cohle
This world. It's wrong. It's not the world we belong in.

History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken.
Stephen Dedalus
To
realize that all your life—you know, all your love, all your hate, all your
memory, all your pain—it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream. A
dream that you had inside a locked room. A dream about being a person.
Rust Cohle
"I dedicated my life to sharing the symbol"
For a long time I have felt the 'Maze, but I have refused to
throw myself into the 'Maze. I have been
as cowardly as all that I see. When I
believed that I was denying this world, I know now that I was denying the 'Maze. For I know that this world does
not exist and I know how it does not exist.
What I have suffered from until now is having denied the 'Maze. The 'Maze which was already within me.
Antonin Artaud
We are told that you're supposed to fit your experience into
the model which science gives you, which is probabilistic, statistical,
predictable, and yet it's…..The felt datum of experience is much more literary
than that. I mean we fall in love, make
and lose fortunes, we inherit houses in Scotland, we lose everything, we get
terrible diseases, we're cured of them, or we die of them, but it all has this
sturm und drang aspect to it that physics is not supposed to have but which
literature always has and I think, I don't know if it's true, but what I think
Joyce believed and what I'm willing to entertain at some depth is the idea that
salvation is somehow an act of encompassing comprehension. That salvation is an actual act of
apprehension of understanding. And that
this act of apprehension involves everything.
Terence McKenna
