"I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me; I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it better that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small . . . And you will escape the jealousy of the great."

"It is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate-confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God; Hod has eaten man."

"What profit it a man if he gain the whole world but in this enterprise lose his soul?"
