“I realized that the search for the Knowledge has encouraged us to think of the House as if it were a sort of riddle to be unravelled, a text to be interpreted, and that if ever we discover the Knowledge, then it will be as if the Value has been wrested from the House and all that remains will be mere scenery. The sight of the One-Hundred-and-Ninety-Second Western Hall in the Moonlight made me see how ridiculous that is. The House is valuable because it is the House. It is enough in and of itself. It is not the means to an end.”

“If there were no motion, not only would all objects stop but disappear. Motion is vital to energy and matter; it is their life, their l'énergie spirituelle, to use Bergson’s term. To put it simply, no motion, no mass. Motion equals mass, in a way. Concentration and “quantity” of motion from the micro to the macro level equals the quantity of mass. The bigger the total output of motion from the micro point to the measured point, the bigger the mass. The whole family of the Universe (Omniverse) is kept alive and together owing to the primordial Universal immaterial Source—Ultimate Force feeding motion and the whole of the Universe and existence with its underlying force—Ultimate Reality and the basis of Everything.”
