He’d taught her that one must let a question linger in the mind as one might savor wine on the tongue, and he’d cautioned that a rush to answer could diminish all chance of insight. Indeed, if one continually avoided questions by trying to answer them immediately, such impatience would become a barrier on the path to greater knowledge of oneself.
