A man to be perfect- complete, that is, in having reached the spiritual condition of persistent and universal growth, which is the mode wherein he inherits the infinitude of his Father- must have the education of a world of fellow-men.

This book has so much going on it's not even funny. Unless you're well versed in Scripture and basic Theology you'll probably be completely lost.

I began to learn that it was impossible to live for oneself even, save in the presence of others- then, alas, fearfully possible! evil was only through good! selfishness but a parasite on the tree of life!

Hitherto I had loved my Arab mare and my books more, I fear, than live man or woman; now at length my soul was athirst for a human presence, and I longed even after those inhabitants of this alien world whom the raven had so vaguely described as nearest my sort. With heavy yet hoping heart, and mind haunted by a doubt whether I was going in any direction at all, I kept wearily travelling "north-west and by south."

Mr. Raven is giving me a serious Yoda vibe.

"That is a prayer-flower," said the raven.
"I never saw such a flower before!" I rejoined.
"There is no other such. Not one prayer-flower is ever quite like another," he returned.
"How do you know it a prayer-flower?" I asked.
"By the expression of it," he answered. "More than that I cannot tell you. If you know it, you know it; if you do not, you do not."

I had made little acquaintance with the history of my ancestors. Almost the only thing I knew concerning them was, that a notable number of them had been given to study.

Hypnosis you say?

Let's go!

My anthropology education is having entirely too much fun with Kandra society.

Yes, I am very much enjoying chapter headers by Vin, thank you for asking.

Well I'm so glad that steel inquisitors just got freakier. I'm gonna go play solitaire with my Mistborn deck.

Come on let's do this thing! Well Elend went from nerd to badass in no time flat.

Well the forward and introduction sound like this is gnosticism with a veneer of indigenous spirituality on it but we'll find out.

People have been commenting that the men in this book all suck and I am forced to agree.

There are a lot of Dracula references in here and I am ridiculously happy about it.

I'm not sure if that was more Salem's Lot or I Am Legend.
