“We are talking about a pair of greater-than-human intelligences with vast powers at their disposal. Whichever came first is also one of those useless theological points. We need only concern ourselves with the present situation, as it affects us.
The forces they represent have been opposed but fairly evenly matched for ages and thus a kind of balance has been maintained. They have constantly sought small victories over each other, each attempting to add to its own domain at the expense of the other. It appears to be a zero-sum game.”

“Now, though—Now I just wanted to wander it a few moments, for old times’ sake, as I sorted through my thoughts. There were so damned many of them. Things that had tantalized me for much of my adult life seemed near to explanation now. I was not happy with all of the possibilities that tumbled through my mind. Still, no matter which ones came out on top, it would beat ignorance.”

“Sometimes you hear an unlikely thing and that’s all it is. Other times, you hear something improbable and it strikes an echo. There is an immediate feeling of having known it, or known something very like it, all along, and just not having bothered to pick it up and examine it.”

Ghost: Either it possesses an element of irrationality itself, like living things, or it is an intelligence of such an order that some of its processes only seem irrational to lesser beings. Either explanation amounts to the same thing from a practical standpoint.
Merlin: I think some measure of it is what makes us truly human—that, and recognizing it in ourselves, of course… and controlling it within oneself may have something to do with intelligence and creativity.

Hugi: He is groping after something, but proceeding incorrectly by holding the world responsible for his own failings.
Corwin: No. He would not even grope to get out of the mud.
Hugi: I meant philosophically.
Corwin: Oh, that sort of mud. Too bad.
Hugi: The whole problem lies with the self, the ego, and its involvement with the world on the one hand and the Absolute on the other.
Corwin: Oh, is that so?
Hugi: Yes. You see, we are hatched and we drift on the surface of events. Sometimes, we feel that we actually influence things, and this gives rise to striving. This is a big mistake, because it creates desires and builds up a false ego when just being should be enough. That leads to more desires and more striving and there you are, trapped.
Corwin: In the mud?
Hugi: So to speak. One needs to fix one’s vision firmly on the Absolute and learn to ignore the mirages, the illusions, the fake sense of identity which sets one apart as a false island of consciousness.
Corwin: I had a fake identity once. It helped me a lot in becoming the absolute that I am now—me.
Hugi: No, that’s fake, too.
Corwin: Then the me that may exist tomorrow will thank me for it, as I do that other.
Hugi: You are missing the point. That you will be fake, too.
Corwin: Why?
Hugi: Because it will still be full of those desires and strivings that set you apart from the Absolute.
Corwin: What is wrong with that?
Hugi: You remain alone in a world of strangers, the world of phenomena.
Corwin: I like being alone. I am quite fond of myself. I like phenomena, too.
Hugi: Yet the Absolute will always be there, calling to you, causing unrest.
Corwin: Good, then there is no need to hurry. But yes, I see what you mean. It takes the form of ideals. Everyone has a few. If you are saying that I should pursue them, I agree with you.
Hugi: No, they are distortions of the Absolute, and what you are talking about is more striving.
Corwin: That is correct.
Hugi: I can see that you have a lot to unlearn.
Corwin: If you are talking about my vulgar instinct for survival, forget it.

The fact that it is easier for us to take a straight course does not make it the only way. We all pursue it so much of the time, though, that we tend to forget that one can also make progress by going around in circles.

Dworkin: What I’m saying is that to argue as they do is to head into an infinite regression—back to first causes, which are always untrustworthy.
Merlin: So what’s the answer?
Dworkin: Answer? This isn’t a classroom. There are no answers that would matter, except to a philosopher—that is, none with any practical applications.
