5:18: You think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance and you'll find out whether ignorance is more expensive or knowledge is more expensive.
11:31: You can buy a book, just let it sit there. When the time comes automatically, you will have a chance to pick it up or as you say, when probably the book decides that you are ready enough to handle it, it gives you a cue.
13:50: Sometimes when you go to a bookstore and you are really fascinated by a book, something of that appeals to you. I don't know whether it's the title of it or whether it's the cover art or whether you take it and it just feels good or you just flip through some pages, something you get attracted to. I would say, take that as a cue and go and get it. You don't know whether it's for you or through you for somebody else.
