Anything I or anyone else says is a signpost pointing you somewhere, you don't need to remember it once you reach your destination, it becomes redundant. You can study words but not hearts, minds or experiences unless they are your own.

Anyway, I have attained nothing but a sore back in my years of pursuit. You're better off giving up right now, just live your life and die like everyone else.
