The point of the journey is not to arrive

Here is a quote I found while reading a review of Marillion's Radiation:

The oblique "Cathedral Wall" visits one of the great romantic dilemmas, that unattainability is essential to sustaining a quest, and yet also the reason the quest can never end successfully (a Grail in hand is not the embodiment of triumph, it's an insurance headache waiting to happen)

I think it nicely sums up life, art, and the continuing epic that is Marillion's music.

Last CD purchase: Marillion - Smoke & Mirrors
