“The destruction of the past—or rather of the social mechanisms that link one’s contemporary experience to that of earlier generations—is one of the most characteristic and eerie phenomena of the late twentieth century.”

— Eric Hobsbawm, The Age of Extremes

Mastery is not something that strikes in an instant, like a thunderbolt, but a gathering power that moves steadily through time, like weather.

The collective survival of the world's books and manuscripts is a transcendent act. Without books, knowledge becomes arbitrary, truths are disparate and unrelated. Without books, memory fails.

Any collection of books which justifies and confirms only the present truth is, in the wrong hands, or in the long run, dangerous. Regardless of how random any collection might be, its very existence is an indication of a society's political health. Like one of Charrington's trinkets, the existence of this manuscript is a good sign.

The obsessive desire to know yourself is itself a pathology. You're not healed when you wholly understand yourself but when you don't matter to yourself anymore. You're healed once you internalize you must fight for something bigger than yourself: you fight for your family; you fight for love; you fight for art; you fight for meaning. Maybe you fight for political change or perhaps you're a fanatical writer or scientist. The real goal of psychoanalysis is paradoxical; it's precisely to liberate you from yourself—to bring you to the point where you can finally forget about yourself and work for a greater cause.
