Unlikely source

An unlikely source to provoke decent thought... but it did, nonetheless. I'm sitting in "the chicken place" while Annie studies and the boys watch the second-by-second update of a basketball game (welcome to the luxuries of missionary life!).
I'm reading "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. I feel it is necessary for me to be well read... but it is kind of... eerie, spooky, terrifying, etc.

This quote, tho, provoked thought. And since I haven't done a book review in a while...

"'You are a clever man, friend John; you reason well, and your wit is bold; but you are too prejudiced. You do not let your eyes see nor your ears hear, and that which is outside your daily life is not of account to you. Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are; that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplate by mens eyes, because they know--or they think they know--some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. But yet we see around us every day the growth of new beliefs, which think themselves new; wand which are yet but the old, which pretend to be young--like the fine ladies at the opera."

Hm.
