“When a strong sickness is thrown at one who is weak and sick, he becomes sick but strong, and believes this strength of sickness to be a lack of it.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan, Philosophy of The Individual: A Radical Exploration of Consciousness, Individualism, and the True Nature of Reality

“In every bad man, there is a lion or a hyena within, and they mask themselves as one who does not show off his feathers or his teeth, but what harm does that do to anyone anyway?”
Connor Patrick Sullivan, Philosophy of The Individual: A Radical Exploration of Consciousness, Individualism, and the True Nature of Reality

“We all have a God, but whether this God is impulse, other men, or the higher consciousness, decides our reality.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan, Philosophy of The Individual: A Radical Exploration of Consciousness, Individualism, and the True Nature of Reality

“In the taking of accountability, one gives power to the one with the desired thing. But the true desired is the desire itself, and in so doing, one bears suffering towards the missing thing, which is the other, which is also the powerful person. Then, in either the attaining, or the half-attaining and giving up on the rest of it, the person achieves the removal of the desire- thus to him then it becomes nothing. Thus, he understands that the suffering, and the ‘accountability’- was simply a giving of power to the other and an ultimately unneccessary suffering.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan

“The true universal idea of community is the mere idea that prevails”
Connor Patrick Sullivan

“When you discover another’s depth- you will realize that the depth is merely multiple surfaces. Each surface is as surface level as the surface of the self, only the surfaces get more terrifying and more boring than the original surface.

To discover the depth- you will uncover surfaces more boring than the highest surface. And the more boring the surfaces are, the more either you or the sea will be punished for their uncovering.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan

“Sex has, through its extreme power, broken from man’s addiction to suffering and honor.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan

“One can learn from experience that learning from experience is impossible without the view that learning from experience cannot occur before the view that learning from experience is not valuable is held.”
Connor Patrick Sullivan
