Quote by Victor Lee Austin

“I believe the book of Job does not show us an answer to the problem of evil but rather an answer to the question of human nature. What are we humans really? Job says: we are precious beings, capable of discourse with God, beings who should strive to accomplish friendship with each other.”

“Qui dit quoi ? Que dans un monde où tout le monde croit devoir s'exprimer, il n'y a plus d'illumination possible. Rien ne peut être éclairé dans la luminance totale. Il faut beaucoup de silence pour entendre une note. Il faut beaucoup de nuit pour qu'un éclair puisse jaillir, pour qu'une couleur neuve soit perçue, soit reçue.”

“He accumulates wealth in solitude, thinking: how strong, how secure I am now; and does not see, madman as he is, that the more he accumulates, the more he sinks into suicidal impotence. For he is accustomed to relying only on himself, he has separated his unit from the whole, he has accustomed his soul to not believing in people's help, in people or in mankind, and now only trembles lest his money and his acquired privileges perish. Everywhere now the human mind has begun laughably not to understand that a man's true security lies not in his own solitary effort, but in the general wholeness of humanity. But there must needs come a term to this horrible isolation, and everyone will all at once realize how unnaturally they have separated themselves from one another.”

“I now realized this woman was livid with anger. Not the sort that suddenly hits you then drains away. No. This woman, I could tell had been in a kind of white heat for sometime. It’s a sort of anger that arrives and then stays put at a constant level like a bad headache never quite peaking and refusing to find a proper outlet.”

“There's no such things as picking a side between right and wrong. Human mind is great, And in all it's glory, it can go not just both ways, But everywhere it wants to go. Right and wrong is just the road to take you. You have a foot on one path, And the second on the other, And you ride along, deciding at each steps, Where you're gonna put your weight. The landscape surrounding... Is where the great human mind can go. What is surrounding you? A forest, or a desert?”
