Girard talks at length about the amusing example of external mediation found in the famous novel by Cervantes, Don Quixote. You’re probably already familiar with the story. Don Quixote reads novels of lofty chivalric romance and takes as his ideal model a fictional knight named Amadis of Gaul. Quixote wants to fight other knights in battles and rescue damsels just like his idol, and he tries to do so in his everyday environment, which leads to humorous and absurd results.

Matthew Edward Hall
“heal the roots, to see the tree grow vibrant.”
Matthew Edward Hall, San Mateo: Proof of The Divine

Jerry Stahl
“Comparing the Gaza Strip and the Warsaw Ghetto ... Which opens up the whole Mein Kampf-ed, blood-libel, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, rampantly racist full-on-fascism-to-keep-us-safe-from-vermin situation. MAGA Unleashed. By the time you read this, the camps may already be opening.”
Jerry Stahl, Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man’s Tale of Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust

Harshita Gottipati
“The true dwellers help you embrace
the darkness in yourself and wield it at will.
It is never belittling but empowering.”
Harshita Gottipati, Born A Free Spirit

“She was one of those people who was stingy without motive or reason even when they gain nothing from it. - Willa Cather”
Benjamin Taylor, Chasing Bright Medusas: A Life of Willa Cather

Jerry Stahl
“If Sartre was right that hell is other people—then other people in a tour bus traveling through Poland may be whatever they call the place below hell … or at least one corner of it.”
Jerry Stahl, Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man’s Tale of Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust
