“We do not admire, we hardly excuse, the fanatic who wrecks this world for love of the other. But what are we to say of the fanatic who wrecks this world out of hatred of the other?

He is ready to ruin even that primary ethic by which all things live, for his strange and eternal vengeance upon some one who never lived at all.” WorldHumanityExistenceSacrificeThis WorldStrangeReadyOffersEternalEthicsAll ThingsHatredVictimExcuseAdmireRuinsPrimariesEmptinessThronesVengeanceIdlenessAltarsFanaticsWrecksExistence Of GodNon Existence Author:Gilbert K.

“The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice. It is the one calling in which at the beginning the only exertion is that of self-indulgence; all the prizes are at the commencement. It is the ever-new embodiment of the old fable of the sale of the soul to the Devil. The tempter offers wealth, comfort, excitement, but in return the victim must sell her soul, nor does the other party forget to exact his due to the uttermost farthing.” DoeSoulSelfWealthForgetPartyCareersReturnComfortCallingOffersDevilPaidVictimSellsDuesProfessionIncomeExcitementPrizeMaximumIndulgenceProstitutionFablesEmbodimentExertionApprenticeCommencementSelf Indulgence Book:In Darkest England and the Way Out Source: In Darkest England and the Way Out
