“This dialectic of not-being-at-home within the place one inhabits expresses the ideological intricacies of how we have thought about humans in nature, or ecology, for hundreds of years. More specifically, humans have historically questioned whether we are, in fact, part of nature or excluded from it. To ask this ecological question is to evoke an uncanny feeling that even if there is a place for us in the natural world, we cannot quite find our way back to it.”

— Andrew Hageman, The Uncanny Ecology of Mulholland Drive

[text ID: We’re always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that’s all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can’t help feeling that that’s what it is.]
