This is true. It is a paradox because a grain of sand cannot be in any way used to see the world in it.

FalseExplanation:A paradox can be described as: "a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true". This doesn't seem to be the case here. This phrase can be considered a metaphor, but not a paradox.

I believe this to be false as of the fact that a paradox would be like this "If "this sentence is false" and you agree it is true then the statement would be false but that would make it true" and so on.
