“Wherefore the current of my soul hath broken
The bounds of sensual life,
And I am grown a god, a sinewy token
Of Pan’s most ardent strife;
I am his own; I seem
The shadow of his dream,
As he is spinning thoughts of form and sense
Out of the formless void, stark, cold and dense.”

“Only literature can grant you access to a spirit from beyond the grave—a more direct, more complete, deeper access than you’d have in conversation with a friend.”

“Do not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live.”

“The soul is not a single unity; that is what it is destined to become, and that is what we call 'immortality'. Your soul is still composed of many 'selves', just as a colony of ants is composed of many single ants. You bear within you the spiritual remains of many thousand ancestors, the heads of your line. It is the same with all creatures. How could a chicken that is artificially hatched in an incubator immediately look for the right food, if the experience of millions of years were not stored inside it? The existence of 'instinct' indicates the presence of our ancestors in our bodies and in our souls.”

“I always give books. And I always ask for books. I think you should reward people sexually for getting you books. Don’t send a thank-you note, repay them with sexual activity. If the book is rare or by your favorite author or one you didn't know about, reward them with the most perverted sex act you can think of. Otherwise, you can just make out.”
