This novel is, in (many) parts, beyond the realm of my comprehension: Binah, Diotallevi used to say, is the palace Hokhmah builds as He spreads out from the primordial point. If Hokhmah is the source, Binah is the river that flows from it, separating into its various branches until they all empty into the great sea of the last Sefirah. But in Binah all forms are already formed.

Our brains grew accustomed to connecting, connecting, connecting everything with everything else, until we did it automatically, out of habit. I believe that you can reach the point where there is no longer any difference between developing the habit of pretending to believe and developing the habit of believing.

I feel I'm wasting my time with this novel - though, once in a while, I come across a phrase that I like:
How beautiful to live in a period where every page, even if it has just come from the papermaker's workshop, is yellowed.
