"Behold yon miserable creature. That Point is a Being like ourselves, but confined to the Non-dimensional Gulf. He is himself his own World, his own Universe; of any other than himself he can form no conception; he knows not Length, nor Breadth, nor Height, for he has had no experience of them; he has no cognizance even of the number Two; nor has he a thought of Plurality; for he is himself his One and All, being really Nothing."
~ The Sphere describing the Monarch of Pointland
