"An extremely dense read, but by reading this book alone, I am receiving a first-class education in the history of Western art, culture, and sexuality. 'Sex and Violence, or Nature and Art' is an explosive read, and represents much of what I thought all along. 'The Birth of the Western Eye' traces Western aestheticism to Ancient Egypt, with its invention of the architectural 'straight line', and concept of 'taste'." — Jun 10, 2022 09:21PM

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

“Have you ever heard of a skillful general, who intends to surprise a citadel, announcing his plan to his enemy? Conceal your purpose and hide your progress; do not disclose the extent of your designs until they cannot be opposed, until the combat is over. Win the victory before you declare the war. In a word, imitate those warlike people whose designs are not known except by the ravaged country through which they have passed.”
