"My book ... is nature..."



"A philosopher asked Saint Anthony: Father, how can you be enthusiastic when the comfort of books has been taken away from you? He replied: My book, O Philosopher, is the nature of created things, and whenever I want to read the word of God, it is usually right in front of me."



--Yushi Nomura, Desert Wisdom: Sayings from the Desert Fathers
