The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
Conquer thyself, till thou hast done this, thou art but a slave; for it is almost as well to be subjected to another’s appetite as to thine own.
Words, words that gender things! The soul is a new-comer on the scene; Sufficeth not the breath of Life to work the matter-born machine? The race of Be’ing from dawn of Life in an unbroken course was run; What men are pleased to call their Souls was in the hog and dog begun: Life is a ladder infinite-stepped, that hides its rungs from human eyes; Planted its foot in chaos-gloom, its head soars high above the skies: No break the chain of Being bears; all things began in unity; And lie the links in regular line though haply none the sequence see.
Christianity and Islamism have been on their trial for the last eighteen and twelve centuries. They have been ardent in proselytizing, yet they embrace only one-tenth and one-twentieth of the human race… Both propose a reward for mere belief, and a penalty for simple unbelief; rewards and punishments being, by the way, very disproportionate. Thus they reduce everything to the scale of a somewhat unrefined egotism; and their demoralizing effects become clearer to every progressive age.

How shall the Shown pretend to ken aught of the Showman or the Show? You pray, but hath your thought e’er weighed how empty vain the prayer must be, That begs a boon already giv’en, or craves a change of law to see?
Philip Roth (12.10.9) Sun Pisces, Moon Capricorn, Ascendant Sagittarius, American author (Newark, New Jersey, March 19, 1933) American Pastoral, The Prague Orgy.
The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.
There are no uncontaminated angels
You cannot observe people through an ideology. Your ideology observes for you.
The pleasure isn’t in owning the person. The pleasure is this. Having another contender in the room with you.
