The child, who is most at home with wonder, says: Daddy, what is above the sky? And the father says: The darkness of space. Size encompasses life, and the Tower encompasses size.

'The greatest mystery the universe offers is not life but size. But nevermind - that's beside the point.' You've reached the limits of your ability to comprehend.

Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search. Few if any seemed to have grasped the truest principle of reality: new knowledge leads to yet more awesome mysteries. There were no great odes written to the wonders of artificial insemination - having babies from frozen mansperm - or to the cars that ran on power of the sun. But this wealth of infomation produced little or no insight. They made or discovered a hundred other marvelous baubles. To this, the man in black merely smiled and answered, 'You needn't. 'I don't believe that,' the gunslinger said flatly. 'Gunslinger, our many-times-great grandfathers conquered the-disease-which-rots, which they called cancer, almost conquered aging, walked on the moon - ' Yet, despite a tremendous increase in available facts, there were remarkably few insights. One company (or cabal) led the way in this regard: North Central Positronics, it called itself. Even so, the false light of science (knowledge, if you like) shone in only a few developed countries. There was a time, yet a hundred generations before the world moved on, when mankind had achieved enough technical and scientific prowess to chip a few splinters from the great stone pillar of reality. The prosaic fact of the universe's existence alone defeats both the pragmatic and the romantic. As the living brain cannot conceive of a non-living brain - although it may think it can - the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite. The universe (he said) is the Great All, and offers a paradox too great for the finite mind to grasp. The Dark Tower - The Gunslinger (Size) - Stephen King Generation Terrorists
