All he knew was he was experiencing highly-structured geometric hallucinations on regular basis, and while he knew what he saw was real, he wasn't sure anyone would believe him if he tried to explain it.." pp21"-Danielle Trussoni, The Puzzle Master
"There is a story from the midrash that I've always loved," she said. "It's about Lailah, the angel of conception. Lailah, the story goes, bequeaths babies the totality of knowledge in the womb. Then, when the baby is born, Lailah presses the child's lips, and all is forgotten. The story presupposes that all knowledge exists, that we don't actually acquire it, but collect what we've lost as we grow older. Perhaps your injury has allowed you to tap into what we all once knew before we were born."-Danielle Trussoni, The Puzzle Master
"the next seconds swelled, slowed, filled with a tension that pressed through me. And then, in that close stillness, the creature awoke. The eyes fluttered open and for ten seconds, perhaps twenty, I watched as the doll twitched to life. But just as the force swelled, it overwhelmed the creature. I began to move about in a most terrifying manner, its eyes shifting around the room in a crazed fashion. The rabbi put a hand over the doll's face, spoke the words again, and life left the doll....I stared at all of this, astonished, too terrified to speak and yet too fascinated to run. "We can make the golem live," Jakob said. "But we need a strong shell. a better shell. One made of porcelain." The rabbi met my eye, and I understood at last what they wanted of me.."-Danielle Trussoni, The Puzzle Master
