"Nell was not one for friends and had never hidden her distaste for most other humans, their neurotic compulsion for the acquisition of allies."

Previous Quote

Acquisition of knowledge is not the end, but the means to the end; the end consists in the attainment, thanks to this knowledge of the higher worlds, of greater and truer self-confidence, a higher degree of courage, and a magnanimity and perseverance such as cannot, as a rule, be acquired in the lower world.

— Rudolf Steiner
