“Keep moving. Because the human mind is tricky. And we ought not linger in its dark places.”

“The history of interpretation, the skills by which we keep alive in our minds the light and dark of past literature and past humanity ... is to an incalculable extent a history of error.”

“the goal is to keep yourself moving, remember? don't linger. don't hover. you are not going to stay.”

“Keep walking, though there's no place to get to.Don't try to see through the distances.That's not for human beings. Move within,But don't move the way fear makes you move.”

“Plants need roots because they can't move on their own. Their roots serve them well, stopping them from getting blown all over the place by the wind. But we humans can move around at will, and our roots hold us in place unnecessarily. Usually in a place we don't want to be. Then, when we try to move, we rip our roots, and it hurts, so we end up staying right where we are.”

“It's a dark, cool, quiet place. A basement in your soul. And that place can sometimes be dangerous to the human mind. I can open the door and enter that darkness, but I have to be very careful. I can find my story there. Then I bring that thing to the surface, into the real world. ”
