Relentless

From Relentless by Dean Koontz:

"As always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us.  We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.  Complexity implies meaning.  We are afraid of meaning."
