“Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.”
“And this is the forbidden truth, the unspeakable taboo - that evil is not always repellent but frequently attractive; that it has the power to make of us not simply victims, as nature and accident do, but active accomplices.”
“I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe. How many people blame God for man's atrocities, but wouldn't dream of imprisoning a mother for her son's crime?”
“Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.”
“I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.”
“They were like two magnets who couldn't decide whether to attract or repel.”
