Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The blood of innocents has always been the currency of charismatic leaders,”
humans who had secret connections to the Synchronized Worlds.
Lack of opportunities did not necessarily make an individual stupid, but only shifted his intelligence to a form suited to survival rather than creativity.
“If you are unwilling to speak of your concern to the person who has wronged you, do not complain when he fails to resolve the situation of his own accord.”
Resistance to change is a survival characteristic. But in its extreme form, it is poisonous — and suicidal.
“Too much so, at times. One can find a verse that seems relevant to any situation, justification for any choice we wish to make.”
How could so many years have passed, with so little joy to show for it?
I do not fear death, for I was fortunate to have been born in the first place. This life is a gift, and was never really mine at all.
“I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.”
Night is a hole in yesterday, and a tunnel into tomorrow.
