“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

The crownless again shall be king.”
