quotes – ENG _ Source Goodreads

The ant… The foolish ant, sitting on the edge of an enormous disc spinning about its axis, reckons at every instant of time, that it’s progressing forward. Who would hold a mirror up to it?

And convey it the truth, clearing out its fallacy, clean as a hound’s tooth.
The fallacy that it can see the whole dimension in entirety. shall it ever concede, if one tries to enlighten?
Or, inured by canard shall it fight to win against what is right?
Anurag Shrivastava, The Web of Karma

God cuts out our path, makes a groove in the clay with His finger, and we poor blind ants slide down into it.
Maria McCann, As Meat Loves Salt

A single black ant sped across the floor beyond our naked toes, and I wondered why I felt so oppositional.
His expression of unflappable faith had touched a profound place, the deep wellspring of my purpose — my future dream I cradled like a soft and formative pearl.
