"Reading this book after finishing "Never Let Me Go." The themes of human dignity that string between both books are haunting me, because one is a Sci-Fi nightmare, and the other is a historically accurate nightmare. But they are basically about the same thing: how many ways can we dehumanize people and somehow feel okay with ourselves at the end of the day?" — Jun 04, 2025 03:58PM

“You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight in God, as misers do in gold, and Kings in sceptres, you never enjoy the world.
Till your spirit filleth the whole world, and the stars are your jewels; till you are as familiar with the ways of God in all Ages as with your walk and table: till you are intimately acquainted with that shady nothing out of which the world was made: till you love men so as to desire their happiness, with a thirst equal to the zeal of your own: till you delight in God for being good to all: you never
enjoy the world.”
