The lines at the end

"The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet, like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heaven. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spilled across the night. And in that moment I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thoughts to terms of man's own limited dimension. I had presumed of nature, that its existence begins and ends, is man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in that place came acceptance. All these vast majestic creations, it had to meant something. And then I mean to something, too. Yes, small than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no inexistent existence. I still live exist!"

The Incredible Shrinking Man quotes

  • Scott Carey: The cellar stretched before me like some vast primeval plain, empty of life, littered with the relics of a vanished race. No desert island castaway ever faced so bleak a prospect.

  • Scott Carey: A strange calm possessed me. I thought more clearly than I had ever thought before - as if my mind were bathed in a brilliant light. I recognized that part of my illness was rooted in hunger, and I remembered the food on the shelf, the cake thredded with spider web. I no longer felt hatred for the spider. Like myself it struggled blindly for the means to live.
