More on Truth
Truth must of necessity be stranger than fiction ... for fiction is the creation of the human mind, and therefore is congenial to it.
We never have a full demonstration, although there is always an underlying reason for the truth, even if it is only perfectly understood by God, who alone penetrated the infinite series in one stroke of the mind.

Between Heaven and Hell there is this place called reality. Reality might as well be Hell if you don’t have cash.
Jeffrey Ford The Fantasy Writer's Assistant and Other Stories (2002)
