“A house does not cease to be a house through knowledge of its bricks. To decompose an idea, or an observation, and explain it in terms of smaller cogs turning together does not nullify the existence of the whole. One could say that nothing really matters, we are all just atoms, that love doesn’t exist, or that our thoughts and dreams are just patterns of neural fireworks, our behaviours just stable equilibria of evolution. But that would be saying the sea is not the sea, because it is made of water.” — K. Elamo
