There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord

by Jeff Mach

“Never piss off a crazy person with a magical boom stick.”

I am a product of the flames which burnt me; the anvil which forged me; and the will that made me grow formidable instead of breaking.

Train yourself to kneel instead of think, and you will not enjoy an opponent who knows how to stand.

Individual humans may be wise; large groups of humans have the intellect of rocks, if rocks had the capacity for spite, petty jealousy, and a desire to be entertained by the misfortunes of poorly-dressed celebrities.

(Criticism is, for some, a human pleasure; critical thinking is, for most, at best a burdensome chore.)
