"honestly not sure if I’ll finish this given how much I don’t like the author at this point - not because this is markedly different from what I expected, but because the author is sometimes self-righteous and rancorous and fairly off-putting as a result. I don’t agree with some of his views
after the intro & chapter 1 - but seeing as this is meant to be a Different look at things I shall hold my judgement." — Jun 01, 2026 08:19PM

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”

“There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name.”

“These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart.”
