  “Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.”

• “What is the truth?’ he asked.
  ‘We place faith in ourselves,’ replied Altaïr (...) ‘We see the world as it really is, and hope that one day all mankind might see the same.’

  “One sip of this wine
  and you will go mad with drunkenness.
  You will drop your masks
  and tear your clothes — destroying
  everything that separates you from the Lover.
  Once you taste the fruit of this vine,
  you will be kicked out of the city of yourself.
  You will forget the world. You will forget yourself.
  I tell you:
  you will become a madman
  who wanders the streets looking for the Lover
  once you drink this Wine of Love.”

  “This is a day of celebration!
  Today, we are divorcing the past
  and marrying the present.
  Dance,
  and you will find God
  in every room.
  Today, we are divorcing resentment
  and marrying forgiveness.
  Sing,
  and God will find you
  in every tune.
  Today, we are divorcing indifference
  and marrying love.
  Drink, and play that tambourine
  against your thighs.
  We have so much celebrating to do!”

• “Quinn seemed to have become one of a jaded philosophical society, a group of arcane deviates. Their raison d'etre was a kind of mystical masochism, forcing initiates toward feats of occult daredevilry - "glimpsing the inferno with eyes of ice", to take from the notebook a phrase that was repeated often and seemed a sort of chant of power. As I suspected, hallucinogenic drugs were used by the sect, and there was no doubt that they believed themselves communing with strange metaphysical venues. Their chief aim, in true mystical fashion, was to transcend common reality in the search for higher states of being, but their stratagem was highly unorthodox, a strange detour along the usual path toward positive illumination. Instead, they maintained a kind of blasphemous fatalism, a doomed determinism which brought them face to face with realms of obscure horror. Perhaps it was this very obscurity that allowed them the excitement of their central purpose, which seemed to be a precarious flirting with personal apocalypse, the striving for horrific dominion over horror itself.

  “Knowing you,
  I became mindless.
  Having wasted previous wishes,
  I'm riddled with regrets
  
  Feeling you,
  I became hopeless.
  Adrift in chasms,
  I surrender to a caress.
  
  Loving you,
  I became love.
  My universe became love.
  Planets rotate on love's axes and
  apples fall to be near their beloveds.
  
  No longer a rationalist, I assert my existence with love.
  I love, therefore
  I exist,
  therefore I
  love.”

  “Put down your glass,
  it is time to dance.
  If you want to get drunk
  all you need is to drink love.
  Put down your pipe
  and do away with these childish toys.
  If you want to get high
  all you need is to breathe love.
  Now,
  can I have this dance?”
