If I were to transcribe and save every passage from this book that completely moved me, that resonated with my spirit more than any few lines ever have, that gripped me completely, I would have to take down three fourths of the book. But here is the most current object of my affection:
"I, myself, concentrated so much on my sixth sense that I developed this vision which sees beyond facts, the better to find sensations and divinations. It is possible I never learned the names of birds in order to discover the bird of peace, the bird of paradise, the bird of the soul, the bird of desire. It is possible I avoided learning the names of composers and their music the better to close me eyes and listen to the mystery of all music as an ocean. It may be I have not learned dates in history in order to reach the essence of timelessness. It may be I never learned geography the better to map my own routes and discover my own lands."
