A coup de foudre â€“ a bolt of lightning. Itâ€™s fun to get knocked out that way!”

“If you are wholly perplexed and in straits, have patience, for patience is the key to joy.”
“Thoroughly understand what it is to understand, and not only will you understand the broad lines of all there is to be understood but also you will possess a fixed base, an invariant pattern, opening upon all further developments of understanding,”
