“The best I can say, it's like this. A man's in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell ... It's hard and strong, that shell, and it's all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that's all. That's all there is.

Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who'll ask the dark its name?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu
