Quote by Tryon Edwards

Doubt, indulged and cherished, is in danger of becoming denial; but if honest, and bent on thorough investigation, it may soon lead to full establishment of the truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that doubt, when embraced and nurtured, can potentially transform into denial. However, if doubt is approached with honesty and a commitment to thorough investigation, it can ultimately guide us towards establishing the truth. In other words, doubting something blindly or without putting in the effort to explore it further may result in denial, while sincere doubt that prompts a genuine pursuit of knowledge can contribute to a deeper understanding of reality.

Hostage is a crucifying aloneness. It is a silent, screaming slide into the bowels of ultimate despair. Hostage is a man hanging by his fingernails over the edge of chaos, feeling his fingers slowly straightening. Hostage is the humiliating stripping away of every sense and fiber of body and mind and spirit that make us what we are. Hostage is a mutant creation filled with fear, self-loathing, guilt and death-wishing. But he is a man, a rare, unique and beautiful creation of which these things are no part.
