"As with any heavy book, my reading progress has slowed but the thinking process has accelerated. Some of the ideas and stories here need to be reshaped in thought to be properly digested for meaning and usability in daily moments. Mastery itself is a persistent, challenging and intuitive engagement via actions, thoughts, objects and people who profoundly inspire us to more. This book demands much thought & patience." — Sep 01, 2013 05:14AM

It was touched by someone (or no one), and touches someone (or no one) now.”

“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”
