I first read this book (the same e-text version, in fact) about four years ago when I was fascinated with combinatorics and game theory (this was sort of related to my being addicted to a game of the roguelike genre) but then lost interest in the subject and forgot about Llull. Something reminded me of him today and I suddenly remembered having once read this strange mystical text. I remember playing a little game of trying to find the passage for someone's birthday. I've always liked the one for mine:
"- Tell me, crazy one: why do you excuse the guilty?
He answered:
- Not to be like those who accuse the innocent and the guilty."
I liked that site very much, thanks. It reminds me of the story of Phaedrus by Socrates, which poses the question is it better to be the lover or the beloved.
