We are led to Believe a Lie
When we see not Thro the Eye
Which was Born in a Night to perish in a Night
When the Soul Slept in Beams of Light
God Appears & God is Light
To those poor Souls who dwell in Night
But does a Human Form Display
To those who Dwell in Realms of day

Then feed on thoughts, that voluntarie move
Harmonious numbers; as the wakeful Bird
Sings darkling, and in shadiest Covert hid
Tunes her nocturnal Note. Thus with the Year
Seasons return, but not to me returns
Day, or the sweet approach of Ev'n or Morn,
Or sight of vernal bloom, or Summers Rose,
Or flocks, or heards, or human face divine;
But cloud in stead, and ever-during dark
Surrounds me, from the chearful wayes of men
So much the rather thou Celestial light
Shine inward, and the mind through all her powers
Irradiate, there plant eyes, all mist from thence
Purge and disperse, that I may see and tell
Of things invisible to mortal sight

People in bankruptcy and people with debts are not truly members of society. That's why they're so repugnant. They're outcasts, shameful wretches, and should be left behind.

Martin Buber
>"The ages of fervor abound in bloody exploits: a Saint Theresa could only be the contemporary of an auto-da-fe, a Luther of the repression of the Peasants' Revolt. In every mystic outburst, the moans of victims parallel the moans of ecstasy... Scaffolds, dungeons, jails flourish only in the shadow of a faith - of that need to believe which has infested the mind forever."
Emil Cioran
>"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."

Should have posted the full quote for context:

"Man should not be able to see his own face. Nothing is more terrible than that. Nature gave him the gift being unable to see either his face or into his own eyes.
He could only see his own face in the waters of rivers and lakes. Even the posture he had to adopt to do so was symbolic. He had to bend down, to lower himself, in order to suffer the ignominy of seeing his own face.
The creator of the mirror poisoned the human soul."
