i like that book.

The most productive, meaningful, important thing you can do is to go completely insane.

The Delta of Venus.

“Animals in multitude eat each other, forming a face.
This is the face you must worship, for it is the only face that exists.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that the goal of our order is the weakening of the individual. No, we aim to strengthen the individual until he becomes superfluous, a hulking and obsolete artifact, a sculpture of nothing.
There is no quiet beyond the mind. The prophets of the East and West teach of a great light, beyond the individual, a grand unity, and an eternal bliss. This temptation is anathema to the growth of the creature, a final acquiescence to the need for womblike comfort. We believe that terror is the only reality, we believe that there is only tensile force, and that the true final form, destruction or apotheosis, sees the ego either violent within or violent without the screaming, the ripping of the veil, and the awful laughter. You do not understand the joke until you realize that it is on you.
