The two of them kept an eye open for every tree or temple we passed by, and turned to me for a reaction of piety which I gave them, of course, and with growing elaborateness: first just touching my eye, then my neck, then my clavicle, and even my nipples.   They were convinced I was the most religious servant on earth.

About This Quote

The two of them kept an eye open for every tree or temple we passed by, and turned to me for a reaction of piety which I gave them, of course, and with growing elaborateness: first just touching my eye, then my neck, then my clavicle, and even my nipples. A person needs to look at the world in different ways. By seeing the world in different ways, you can see it in better way. When someone is looking at the world in the right way, it makes him/her realize that what is around him/her will not be there forever. That person will be able to overcome whatever hardship he/she faces.
