“The greatest lie of all is that we live in a strictly empirical world. We actually live in an analytic, mathematical world of reason and logic, and its flip side is the empirical world of phenomena. Your reason isn’t empty and futile, dealing only with ideals and nothing real. Your reason, just like your senses, feelings and intuitions, directly encounters reality, but noumenally rather than phenomenally, rationally rather than irrationally.” — Mike Hockney
