2. We have to endure the discordance between imagination and fact. It is better to say, I am suffering, than to say, This landscape is ugly.

So the mind moves in a closed space of partial truth, which may be larger or smaller, without ever being able so much as to glance at what is outside.

6. We have to endure the discordance between imagination and fact. It is better to say, I am suffering, than to say, This landscape is ugly.
