cripple God, who always desires more than he's able to have, and doesn't always realize this to begin with. Who has built clocks, but not the time that they measure. Has built systems or mechanisms that serve particular purposes, but they too have outgrown these purposes and betrayed them. And has created an infinity that, from being the measure of the power he was supposed to have, turned into the measure of his boundless failure.

We don't need other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. One world is enough, even there we feel stifled.

No confiéis en aquellos de vosotros que consideran que única y simplemente anheláis la inmortalidad, porque aunque estén diciendo la verdad, no es esta sino superficial e incompleta.

The real Machiavellian, like the infant, believes there is nothing bigger or more important than him or herself. To succeed, you will need to achieve that view, to return to the liberating egocentrism of the selfish, amoral child who wants what he wants and permits nothing to get in its way.
