"I just ended the first volume, it’s difficult to decide on what grounds should I judge this book, I certainly don’t have enough knowledge to discredit what Ryan says in favor of another interpretation of the classics, so I would simply say that it’s well written and it’s aimed to anyone without previous philosophical background (although as always, it certainly helps)." — Jul 13, 2015 08:38AM

“Contrary to what you may assume, I am not a pessimist but an indifferentist- that is, I don't make the mistake of thinking that the... cosmos... gives a damn one way or the other about the especial wants and ultimate welfare of mosquitoes, rats, lice, dogs, men, horses, pterodactyls, trees, fungi, dodos, or other forms of biological energy.”
― H. P. Lovecraft
