“They are given to all kinds of marvellous beliefs; are subject to trances and visions; and frequently see strange sights, and hear music and voices in the air.”

“It is strange how oftentimes the air speaks.We are sane as long as we hear voices when there are none.We are insane when we hear nothing and worse we are deaf.”

“Sight is seeing with the eyes; vision is seeing with the mind.”

“Vision is beyond sight, it entails belief; it encompasses hope, it maintains possibilities - it is the epitome of *Dreams that Come True*”

“Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage. And it is never to be taken for granted.”

“As one long prepared, and graced with courage, as is right for you who were given this kind of city, go firmly to the window and listen with deep emotion, but not with the whining, the pleas of a coward; listen—your final delectation—to the voices, to the exquisite music of that strange procession, and say goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.”
