“For anyone with the traits - of feeling himself victimized, of seeking to be the strongman who resolves everything, yet sees truth only through his own self and negates all other truth outside of it - is bound to become more malignant when he has power.

Think of it as a vicious circle. The power intensifies these tendencies and the tendencies become more dangerous because of the power.”

“For approximately the first six months, I was somewhat uncomfortable talking with non-human intelligence. You question yourself; you question your sanity; you ask what it is I'm talking with? You don't share what you are doing. You are already known as being eccentric. While you don't care what people think, you tend not to go out of your way to make them laugh at you. So, you keep to yourself. You also stick close to the source. You watch, you OBSERVE, you evaluate. You are evaluating. Them, friend or foe? Me, sane or crazy?”

“For Ares, lord of strife,
Who doth the swaying scales of battle hold,
War’s money-changer, giving dust for gold,
Sends back, to hearts that held them dear,
Scant ash of warriors, wept with many a tear,
Light to the hand, but heavy to the soul;
Yea, fills the light urn full
With what survived the flame—
Death’s dusty measure of a hero’s frame!”

“For argumentation, we can imagine there is only this Universe we are aware of, and we can treat it, along with black holes, as if there is nothing beyond it except absolute nothingness or absolute void. This world would be Einstein’s space with the curvature of space. Beyond it, there is a “spaceless space” without curvature. But without the uncurved “spaceless space,” curved space is impossible. This spaceless space is nothingness, and only a void provides room for the creation of space. The only real space is the spaceless space or absolute vacuum, and this spaceless space cannot be curved. What is curved is the creation that took “one part” of the primordial void, to put it that way, to create the World—the gravitational field and the spacetime continuum. But the primordial void, or the only real space that there can be, is not curved and cannot be curved.”
