woo, movie quotes
“May he who illuminated this work, illuminate me.”
Again, I love this line. Even though it’s phrased as a prayer, in context it’s at least partly directed at the long-dead human author of the manuscript. That to study history, to look to a world around us is another connection to the divine. So it’s simultaneously very religious but also very humanist and secular. I have opinions about the spirituality of simply being human, but they get weird and involved.
