Summary

This quote suggests that achieving victory through the use of violence or force is not truly successful or long-lasting. While using violence may temporarily bring about a sense of triumph, it ultimately leads to negative consequences and perpetuates a cycle of conflict. True victory is seen as sustainable, peaceful, and rooted in understanding, compromise, and cooperation rather than the use of force.

In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It's the drowning out of false voices.
