While these were merely cutesy sayings for drawing in an audience, the words of both quotes are quite apropos when contemplating time and space. That's what this massive set is all about, contemplating space and time.

Despite this fact, the author ventures to believe that the gap which the present treatise was originally designed to fill is still unfilled.
