Given multiple highlights of the same sentence, take the longest one and forget about the rest.

For example, from The Book of Life by J. Krishnamurti:

  • Now, the understanding of suffering does not lie in finding out what the cause is. Any man can know the cause of suffering; his own thoughtlessness,
  • Now, the understanding of suffering does not lie in finding out what the cause is.
  • The known operates only through thought, which is the response of memory to challenge.
  • The known operates only through thought, which is the response of memory to challenge. If I see that, and I want to find out how to end thinking, what am I to do? Surely I must, through self-knowledge, be aware of the whole process of my thinking. I must see that every thought, however subtle, however lofty, or however ignoble, stupid, has its roots in the known, in memory. If I see that very clearly, then the mind, when confronted with an immense problem, is capable of saying, “I do not know,” because it has no answer.

Should become:
