Push it. examine all things intensely and relentlessly.

We are here to witness the creation and to abet it.

And besides$$$ we lovers fear everything.

Books swept me away$$$ this way and that$$$ one after the other; I made endless vows according to their lights for I believed them.

We live in all we seek.

She read books as one would breathe air$$$ to fill up and live. She read books as one would breathe ether$$$ to sink in and die.

Why do we people in churches seem like cheerful$$$ brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the Absolute?

You can't test courage cautiously$$$ so I ran hard and waved my arms hard$$$ happy.

I do not so much write a book as sit up with it$$$ as a dying friend. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.

The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart.
