Quote by Sim Kern

“That was before I realized just how precious pride is. How dangerous it is to the people in power, and that's why they want to take it away from you. That's why they scare little kids with stories of burning for eternity just for having a backbone.”

“Almost always, the more intelligent, clever, and original you are, the more bored you are by Proverbs. It tells you nothing you didn’t know before. It is a book of platitudes, of old, well-worn truisms. It is, simply, dull. Yes, that is how the most “advanced” minds see Proverbs. And our nation, our civilization, and our world are today threatened with destruction precisely because of the ideas of those “advanced” minds, because we have departed from the old platitudes. If there is anything our civilization needs in order to survive the threat of moral and spiritual and perhaps physical destruction, it is to return to these “safe”, “dull” platitudes. For they are true. They are a road map to life, and we are lost in the woods.”
