My personal approach to fairly rating books out of five. Note that these ratings are based entirely on the standard of what the book and its creator promise it will do, not any other arbitrary standard a reader might spontaneously decide the book *should have* adhered to. Personal preferences are always subjective and arbitrary. There is no law of nature requiring any given reader to subjectively enjoy an objectively great book.

One Star: There is virtually nothing of value in the book. It utterly fails at its stated mission. There is no conceivable reason for the type of reader it is advertised to attempt to consume it.

Two Stars: The book contains some value but is so sparse or poorly organized that it's not worth the trouble of trying to f

“Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.”


Anton Chekhov

Quotes by Gregory V. Diehl  (?)

“The story of Superman is functionally now a mythological influence to heroic characters within other stories that are meant to serve as mythological influences to us real-world humans. His seems to be a sort of prime contemporary hero story from which other contemporary hero stories emerge and draw their influence.”
Gregory V. Diehl, The Heroic and Exceptional Minority: A Guide to Mythological Self-Awareness and Growth

“The greater the meaning behind your business, the harder it becomes to communicate it to the world.”
Gregory V. Diehl, Brand Identity Breakthrough: How to Craft Your Company's Unique Story to Make Your Products Irresistible

“The only real way to know your limits is to just keep testing yourself.”
Gregory V. Diehl, Brand Identity Breakthrough: How to Craft Your Company's Unique Story to Make Your Products Irresistible

The Hero Path

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”
Joseph Campbell

“When somebody is a little bit wrong - say, when a waited puts nonfat milk in your espresso macchiato, instead of lowfat milk - it is often quite easy to explain to them how and why they are wrong. But if somebody is surprisingly wrong - say, when a waiter bites your nose instead of taking your order - you can often be so surprised that you are unable to say anything at all. Paralyzed by how wrong the waiter is, your moth would hang slightly open and your eyes would blink over and over, but you would be unable to say a word.”
Lemony Snicket, The Reptile Room

“The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.”
Thomas Paine, A Letter Addressed to the Abbe Raynal on the Affairs of North America

“These are the times that try men's souls.”
Thomas Paine, The American Crisis

“Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune's all we are.”
Grant Morrison, The Invisibles, Volume 1: Say You Want a Revolution
