Even suffering can play a demonic role here, and the ideas of guilt and punishment can be the most subtle tool of the ingenious self. The idea of suffering confuses the mind and in certain contexts (the context of ‘sincere self-examination’ for instance) can masquerade as a purification.”

[...] It had a logo on it -- a mountain ridgeline with the words "Suitcase City" printed across it like the Hollywood sign.
