- “This now introduces the principal character of this book, Laylah, who is the ultimate feminine symbol, to be interpreted on all planes.”
- “Both ’23’ and ‘Skidoo’ are American words meaning ‘Get out’. This chapter describes the Great Work under the figure of a man ridding himself of all his accidents.”
- “Paragraph 3 introduces a new conception; that of the square within the hexagram, the universe enclosed in the law of Lingam-Yoni.”
