“While local matters are happening around you, let your mind sail to the ocean of universal matters.”

“For God must have more important universal matters to attend to than keeping himself busy with us, people! God is not interested in local matters!”

“Stay focused on your goal and never let your mind cloud you with doubt - or conceit for that matter.”

“Ponder just let it happen. It's because their minds are so often involved with deep and problematic matters, he told himself, that their mouths are allowed to wander around making a nuisance of themselves.”

“It was a joy! Words weren't dull, words were things that could make your mind hum. If you read them and let yourself feel the magic, you could live without pain, with hope, no matter what happened to you.”

“But no matter,” Grandmother said. “Let’s let small-minded people live within the confines of their small-minded assumptions while the rest of us carry on with our lives.”
