“There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. A personal God is a disappointing God; and Job, Omar Khayyam, Euripides, Palladas, Voltaire and Professor Housman will denounce him. With Buddhism, Taoism, Quietism, and the God of Spinoza there can be no disappointment, because there is no Appointment.”
Palinurus, The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus

“The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.”
Palinurus, The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus
