“What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.”

“Nature and Books belong to the eyes that see them.”

“What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.”

“Nature and books belong to all who see them.”

“Books are for nothing but to inspire”

“Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.”

“I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part of God.”
