"Do not interrupt the flight of your soul;
do not distress what is best in you;
do not enfeeble your spirit with half wishes and half thoughts.
Ask yourself and keep on asking until you find the answer,
for one may have known something many times, acknowledged it;
one may have willed something many times, attempted it —
and yet, only the deep inner motion, only the heart's indescribable emotion, only that will convince you that what you have acknowledged belongs to you, that no power can take it from you —
for only the truth that builds up is truth for you."


- Søren Kierkegaard

All pulse are naught, beans, peas, vetches, &c., they fill the brain (saith Isaac) with gross fumes, breed black thick blood, and cause troublesome dreams.
