I particularly scorn my fondness for paradox. I despise pessimism, narcissism, solipsism, truculence, word-play, and pusillanimity, my chiefer inclinations; loathe self-loathers ergo me; have no pity for self-pity and so am free of that sweet baseness. I doubt I am. Being me’s no joke.

Kur vispār zināšanas cilvēci novedušas? Pie atombumbām, nāvīgām gāzēm un visādiem nāves rīkiem. Nebūtu augstskolu, ļaudis izkautos ar rungām, dabūtu punus un zilumus un – atkal varētu slēgt mieru.
Pārspīlētas pieklājības klusinātajā gammā katrs spēcīgāks akords skanēja griezīgi, bet visu laiku skaļi bungotā priekšnesumā asāki piesitieni nevienu neuztrauca. Viss taču dibinājās uz kontrastiem!

From time to time
I once wondered how one wanders from time to time
And think up the paradox line
Speak of Epoch's crime
Oh I lied, it hasn't happened yet
But bet you better believe it's such a habit that
I just said that in a past mindset

The universe (he said) offers a paradox too great for the finite mind to grasp. As the living brain cannot conceive of a nonliving brain — although it may think it can — the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite.
