Human beings can be compared to a book they themselves are writing

"Human beings can be compared to a book they themselves are

writing - and often it's just scribblings and gibberish! You can

find every insanity, every aberration in it. And when two of

these books meet and feel attracted to one another, there they

are, busy day and night reading one another, but what do they

learn from their reading?

Certainly, humans know many things, but they have still not

learned how they should write their own book. They only know how

to create outside themselves: how to sculpt, model, draw or

write, but always outside themselves; their inner being remains

fallow ground. It is time they became aware that they must

concern themselves with writing their own book. Then, whenever

they meet, they will marvel at being able to see sublime writing

and drawing in one another - the qualities, virtues and gifts

they have each worked to develop in themselves."
