“THEY INVENTED THE TERRIFYING FICTION OF A BURNING HELL STRICTLY TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER DRAG THE REAL DEMONS OUT OF THEIR MANSIONS. THE PRIEST DOES NOT WANT TO SAVE YOUR SOUL; HE IS A HEAVILY ARMED PSYCHOLOGICAL WARDEN PAID BY THE ELITE TO ENSURE THE STARVING SLAVES NEVER REALIZE THEY OUTNUMBER THE MASTERS A THOUSAND TO ONE.” - #VOLTAIRE

"…One always finds one's burden again. But #Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile: Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
