Thought for the day ...

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
- Umberto Eco, born on this date in 1932.

That the world is an enigma does not preclude its having an underlying truth.
