The following list is not intended for scholars but for travellers. It,
therefore, makes no pretensions to being comprehensive or respresentative
and the order was taken as it was given. It is a series
of signposts and signposts are no substitute for travelling.
A book is a mirror. If a donkey looks into it, a saint
won’t look out of it.
Adapted from the aphorisms of Lichtenberg
Q. Why should one understand the truth from a
sage alone and not from books?
A. It is only because the one is living whereas the
other is dead.
