Quote by Neil Gaiman

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of our senses as the sole means of perceiving and understanding the world around us. It implies that if our senses deceive us or prove to be unreliable, we are left with no foundation to trust anything. Additionally, it highlights the inescapable nature of relying on our senses, as even if we doubt or question their accuracy, we have no alternative method of navigating through life. Hence, we are compelled to continue on the path shown to us by our senses, disregarding our doubts, until we reach our ultimate destination.
