When Larry was asked what he's been doing in Paris...
I've been reading a good deal. Eight or ten hours a day.
I want to make up my mind whether God is or God is not. I want to find out why evil exists. I want to know whether when I die it's the end.
Am I really a traitor to my country because I want to spend a few years educating myself? It may be that when I'm through I shall have something to give that people will be glad to take.
I wish I could make you see how much fuller the life I offer you is than anything you have a conception of. I wish I could make you see how exciting the life of the spirit is and how rich in experience.

Do you remember his saying that he was just going to loaf? If what he tells you is true his loafing seems to involve some very strenuous work.
there are men who are possessed by an urge so strong to do some particular thing that they can't help themselves, they've got to do it. They're prepared to sacrifice everything to satisfy their yearning.
You know, in learning there's the lone wolf as well as the wolf who runs the pack. I think Larry is one of those persons who can go no other way than their own.
It's a long arduous road he's starting to travel, but it may be that at the end of it he'll find what he's seeking.
