No amount of study can make you a terton. In fact, too much learning might very well take the ability right out of you. As William Blake wrote in his The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: ‘Improvement makes straight roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.’

I became one of the lucky ones, I reached my unattainable land.

There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in

This book looks to me as if it is more passages lifted from ‘A step away from paradise’ than actual insights. I hope I'm not doing it an injustice. I would recommend reading the original work by Thomas Shor instead of reading this.

This is a pretty little book. It's a small hardback with an embedded three dimensional 'J' in the cover. I'm assuming that there are 25 other books that are very similar, although the compilers may have trouble with X ...
I like quotations. I think my favourite here is
"Jobs should never be hurried. People soon forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it." ― Howard Newton, Quoted in ‘The Best Things in Life Begin with J’, published by History and Heraldry, 2004

Just expect people to be better than they are; it helps them to become better. But don’t be disappointed when they are not; it helps them to keep trying.

Rhybweth erchyll yng Nghymru / Something horrible in Wales
There are nine entertainingly creepy stories in this book, made more fascinating by the Welsh setting, particularly with references to south Wales, where I live.
I enjoyed the stories and particularly some of the descriptions of scenes which helped to give life to the tales.
“When he turned round, the world had changed. / The sky had darkened and, worse, reddened to the point where it was almost as if he were looking up from the surface of an alien planet. Clouds that resembled amoebae crawled across the heavens, enveloping stars and leaving trails of black dust behind them. ” p25, ‘What others hear’, by John Llewellyn Probert
The book is very entertaining and I would recommend it.

There seem to be some mistakes in the Welsh (unless I'm mistaken). In the title ‘Cthulhu Cymraeg’ , ‘Cymraeg’ means ‘The Welsh Language’, if the title is supposed to mean 'of Wales', then it should be ‘Cthulhu Cymreig’. There is also another typo, ‘Mamgi’ instead of ‘Mamgu’ (Grandmother). However the authors may know more than me.
