Very True
S.E. Lindberg liked this
“This man of god has great faith, he thought, and men have always praised that. I have no faith and that is accounted evil; but the world if it is ever saved will be saved by men of goodwill of much thought and of little faith...Faith stops thinking, and thought is the root of life without which we become beasts, faith is surrender and dependence and becoming children again, it is refusing the accept the unimaginable variety of truth and the unwillingness to permit another his variant. Faith stops progress and legitimizes murder...”

“I take back all the times I took back all the bad things I said about Kluge,” I said. “He really is a moron.” “Actually, you’ve never taken back anything you said about him,” Jessep informed me. “Well that just goes to show how good a judge of character I am.”

“What a fabulous kingdom the mind is, and you the emperor of all of it. You can bed the duke's wife and have the duke strangled in your mind. A crippled man can think himself a dancer, and an idiot can fool himself wise. The day a magicker peeks into the thoughts of commoners for some thin-skinned duke or king will be a bad day. Those with callused hands will rise on that day, for a man will only toil in a mine so long as he can dream of sunny fields, and he'll only kneel for a tyrant if he can secretly cut that tyrant's throat in the close theater of his bowed head.”
