“The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking. ”

“We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.”

“If it looks real and feels real, do you think it matters if it's real?”

“So books are real to me, too; they link me not just with other minds but with the vision of other minds, what those minds understand and see. I see their worlds as well as I see my own.”

“It's hard sometimes to remember why we do anything in the first place. It's nice to think there's a purpose, or even a real decision that turns everything in one direction, but that's not always true, is it? We just fall into our lives.”

“If it's knowledge and wisdom you want, then seek out the company of those who do real work for an honest purpose.”
