Quote by Thomas Stark

“Don’t be one of the dreary souls. Don’t be one of the lukewarm. Don’t be neutral. Don’t be non-committal. Plunge in, all the way. Don’t live like the Ignavi, without blame or without praise. Do something. Make a mark. Don’t join the cowardly choir. Don’t let heaven and hell alike shut their door in your face because you are fit for neither. How pathetic must you be if even the depths of hell disdain to receive you?”

“Isn’t it time be a hero, one that your yourself have created and defined? Isn’t it time to be the god you have it within you to be? Leave the broken world behind. Create a new world. This time one that isn’t screwed. Let’s stop being as mad as hell. Let’s stop the decline of humanity into increasing craziness. Let’s create a Society of Quality, a Society of Excellence, a Society of Self-Actualization. Above all, a Society of Divine Humanity, where we have given glorious expression to the divine spark that resides within us all.”

“A universe of a 100% love is not a loving universe at all. It’s one where love has ceased to exist because it has no binary opposition against which it can be emotionally contrasted. Heaven only makes sense when paired with hell. A heaven without a hell is pleasure without pain, and pleasure without pain is the absence of feeling because feeling is all about the pleasure-pain axis. Imagine you loved everything. There would be no special thing in your life because everything would be equally special to you. How would you move from one thing to the next? Each thing would demand your love, and you would want to give it your love. You would be unable to discern between any two things. You couldn’t judge things, prioritize, or derive any special pleasure from any special thing. In fact, when all things are special, nothing is special. When all things are loved, nothing is loved. You have killed love by failing to hate. And you are no longer human. Do not speak of love without also speaking of hate. If you want to be the great “lover”, go ahead, but know that you are thereby the great “hater” too.”

“If you have found the secret of immortality, don't take a megaphone and announce it to the whole world! Give this secret only to those who deserve it! And who are they? They are people who believe in this world, not in an imaginary paradise or in divine powers! Only those who believe in this very existence, those who do not have a world outside of existence deserve immortality! And those left behind must go to their imaginary paradise and live there happily with their gods!”
