The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. You think it more difficult to turn air into wine than to turn wine into blood? Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance. They are always saying God loves us. If that's love I'd rather have a bit of kindness. Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline. There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. One of the things which danger does to you after a time is -, well, to kill emotion. I don't think I shall ever feel anything again except fear. None of us can hate anymore - or love. Heresy is another word for freedom of thought. |
