"If we want to pass on and on till magnitude and dimensions disappear, is it not done for us already ? That reality, where magnitudes and dimensions are not, is simple and about us. For passing thus on and on we lose ourselves, but find the clue again in the apprehension of the simplest acts of human goodness, in the most rudimentary recognition of another human soul wherein is neither magnitude nor dimension, and yet all is real."

      - Charles H. Hinton

"At first, indeed, I pretended that I was describing the imaginary experiences of a fictitious person; but my enthusiasm soon forced me to throw off all disguise, and finally, in a fervent peroration, I exhorted all my hearers to divest themselves of a prejudice and to become believers in the Third Dimension. Need I say that I was at once arrested and taken before the council ?"

     - Edwin A. Abbott
