Excerpt from page 25 of A New Earth:

"A mature first-year student at twenty-five, I saw myself as an intellectual in the making, and I was convinced that the answers to the dilemmas of human existence could be found through the intellect, that is to say, by thinking, I didn't realize yet that thinking without awareness is the main dilemma of human existence."
