"It is only in exceptional moods that we realize how wonderful are the commonest experiences of life. It seems to me sometimes that these experiences have an "inner" side, as well as the outer side we normally perceive.

It is as if we caught a glimpse of some incredibly beautiful world that lies silently about us all the time."
