Reality is more than truth… Reality is both what we know and all that we do not know. Only one occasion in human history sees the moment when truth and reality coincide. That moment is in the incarnation of Christ, because he is God, the plenitude, the fullness of creation, and at the same time the perfect expression of it.
Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (T.S. Eliot Lectures; God and Man)
