“Moral judgments and condemnations constitute the favorite revenge of the spiritually limited against those less limited.”

—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §219 (excerpt).
Church of Unending Illusions
I'm not unmindful of man's seeming need for faith; I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle.

— Frank Sinatra, My Father

There were always well-developed plans in Jeeter’s mind for the things he intended doing; but somehow he never got around to doing them. One day led to the next, and it was much more easy to say he would wait until tomorrow. When that day arrived, he invariably postponed action until a more convenient time. Things had been going along in that easy way for almost a lifetime now; nevertheless.
