The Heart of Truth

"And I huddle in the lee of my paper mountain like Adam in the bushes and pick up a book and my eyes open panic-stricken in a world other than my own, because when I start reading I'm somewhere completely different, I'm in the text, it is amazing, I have to admit I've been dreaming, dreaming in a land of great beauty, I've been in the very heart of truth."

-Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud A Solitude
