"Don't let them fool you. You are being taken. Don't let them fool you with
fancy phrases which are void of true intelligence. Don't let them distract
you with sentimental dramatics, for you are always left alone in the dark
theater. Don't be deceived by lofty promises of some future paradise, for
that only postpones the self-adventure you must take today.
Our self-deliverance will be to the same degree as our
self-responsibility."
