“You can’t build life the way you put blocks together, Toddy.... Did Knox teach you what makes the blood flow? Did he tell you how thoughts come and how they go, and why things are remembered and forgot?... What makes a thought start?... You don’t know and you’ll never know or understand....

—Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Gray (Boris Karloff)

And robes the mountain in its azure hue.”
