I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge, or Virtue, or Goodness, or Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: Sacred Awe![/b]
He’s kidding, right?
To think things out properly and fairly, a fellow’s got to be calm and old and toothless: When you’re an old gaffer with no teeth, it’s easy to say: ‘Damn it, boys, you mustn’t bite!’ But, when you’ve got all thirty-two teeth…
There’s an important truth in there somewhere. Let’s find it.
Never in my life have I feared death as much as I feared that resurrection.
Of course, others are willing to take their chances.
If the soul within us does not change, Judas, the world outside us will never change. The enemy is within, the Romans are within, salvation starts from within!
Instead, Judas does God’s bidding.
I mean, that’s what he did, right?
I knew that over and above the truth, there exists another duty which is much more important and much more human.
And then there are the fools who claim to have found it.
I am not tired, but the night is coming.
Uh-oh.
If you know what I mean.
