“And so my Odyssey begins...”

“Though there are exceptions, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism tend to stress desirable states of consciousness, escaping the fretful, self-aware state of mind that so often makes everyday living a burden. For mystics from the Abrahamic faiths, however, the inward odyssey is also an upward odyssey, a quest for personal and vital communion with an infinite Being.”

“The Odyssey was written by Homer, or another Greek of the same name.”

“Danny is on my bed and depressed because Ricky was picked up by a break dancer at the Odyssey on the night of the Duran Duran look-alike contest and murdered.”

“The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word, an epic journey that would change everything.”

“I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.”
