Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes
Distance... is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.

Harris and his ilk might want to ignore the importance of this distinction, but that it is a genuine distinction cannot rationally be denied.
