the voice of delusion

 

“You know that voice you hear inside your head when you think that

God or Jesus is talking personally to you? Well it’s the same voice

that people hear when they think that aliens are contacting them

     or that the Devil is telling them to do something. It is the voice of delusion…”

ANATHEMA

 

“The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian

has no place in this world.

In this world the poet is anathema,

the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist,

the man of vision a criminal.”

A MOST FITTING TWIST OF FATE

 

“The Humanity of men and women

is inversely proportional to their Numbers.

A Crowd is no more human than

an Avalanche or a Whirlwind.

A rabble of men and women stands lower

in the scale of moral and intellectual being

than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.”

 

~ Aldous Huxley ~
