They keep a steady stream of noise going to protect themselves, to build a wall against the truth. Like African natives, beating on their drums, rattling their gourds, shaking the bells to scare off evil spirits. As long as there’s enough noise, there’s nothing to fear – or hear.

How assiduously does an agitated mind need to work in order to achieve the elusive degree of emotional and mental quietness that I seek?” ― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls
