" This subject had hit John with such intensity that he could no longer remain unaware of his deeper thinking. He became so much aware of it, in fact, that he was worried by it and therefore he was determined to do something about it. This breaking out of his cocoon did not surprise John, for being the least introspective of men, he had not been aware that he lived in a cocoon. "

― Catherine Cookson , Saint Christopher and the Gravedigger
