"What was consciousness other than the surface of the soul's ocean? Other than small, brightly colored boats, floating plastic bottles, and driftwood, waves and currents, whatever the day might bring, over a depth of several thousand meters. Or depth was the wrong word. What was consciousness other than the cone of light from a torch in the middle of a dark forest?" - Karl Ove Knausgaard, My Struggle, Vol. 5.
