"This novel is autobiographical. I find the author's pompous personality a bit hard to take.
The sentences are long and contain many layers of clauses, but I can parse it clearly enough and find it disarmingly conversational. When I can't figure out what he means, I really don't know whether it's my comprehension skills or plain old bad grammar.
I might write about his prejudiced and hierarchical worldview later." — Aug 08, 2026 07:06PM

“I am the spirit that negates.
And rightly so, for all that comes to be
Deserves to perish wretchedly;
'Twere better nothing would begin.
Thus everything that that your terms, sin,
Destruction, evil represent—
That is my proper element.”
― Faust - Part One

“Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it.”

“A man receiving charity practically always hates his benefactor -- it is a fixed characteristic of human nature; and, when he has fifty or a hundred others to back him, he will show it.”
