1 " Really, when I think it over, literature has only one excuse for existing; it saves the person who makes it from the disgustingness of life. "
― Joris-Karl Huysmans , Là-Bas (Down There)
2 " The entire Jesus concept, that human sacrifice should be the substratum of a moral religion of love, strikes me as incongruous. God condemned us and Jesus saved us, and they are actually the same being? Christianity is the idea that you are so abhorrent that God had to kill himself. He had to embody the human form and send himself on a bizarre suicide mission just to revoke the disgustingness of the humans he created. I balk at suggestions that these ideas dictate to the concepts of morality and love. "
