The Razors Edge

"I found something wonderfully satisfying in the notion that you can attain Reality by knowledge. In later ages the sages of India in recognition of human infirmity admitted that salvation may be won by the way of love and the way of works, but they never denied that the noblest way, though the hardest, is the way of knowledge, for the instrument is the most precious faculty of man, his reason."

The W. Somerset Maugham book is one of my favorites and I re-read it on a regular basis. Strangely I have Bill Murray to thank for it.
