“When we first start facing the truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives...in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is seen only with effort; and when seen, is also inferred to be the universal author of all things beautiful and right, parent of light and of the lord of light in this visible world, and the immediate source of reason and truth in the intellectual.”

Great read- excited to tie it in with Life of Pi & Oedipus Rex!

"It is the task of the enlightened, not only to ascend to learning and to see the good; but to be willing to descend again to those prisoners, and to share their troubles and their honors -- whether they are worth having or not."

A very subjective experience. Lots of different meanings depending on individuals' perception.
