Michel Onfray
“I do not despise believers. I find them neither ridiculous nor pathetic, but I lose all hope when I see that they prefer the comforting fairy tales of children to the cruel hard facts of adults. Better the faith that brings peace of mind than the rationality that brings worry--even at the price of perpetual mental infantilism. What a demonstration of metaphysical sleight of hand--and what a monstrous price!”
Michel Onfray

“No. 2’s infamous opening line is a double gambit: the Village does not really want information, of course, only obedience. (From their point of view, information is an exchange-value, not a use-value). In fact, it is No. 6 who truly wants information: information on who No. 1 is, where the Village really is, which side runs it, and how it might be possible to escape.”
Dennis Redmond, The World is Watching: Video as Multinational Aesthetics, 1968-1995

“Here was the red madness of diabolism.”
John Glasby, The Undead: A Horror Novel

Greta Christina
“the best way to deal with difficult and painful emotions is to stop trying to fix them and just let myself feel them. When I let myself actually feel my emotions, they tend to pass.”
Greta Christina, Comforting Thoughts About Death That Have Nothing to Do with God

Greta Christina
“I’m with Christopher Hitchens on this one. Heaven sounds like North Korea — an eternity of mindless conformity spent singing the praises of a powerful tyrant.”
Greta Christina, Comforting Thoughts About Death That Have Nothing to Do with God
