I just finished The Name of the Rose, an excellent book by Umberto Eco, and these are a couple of passage from the book I wanted to share. The book is filled with so many profound discussions.
| The Antichrist can be born from piety itself, from excessive love of God, or of the truth, as the heretic is born from the saint and the possessed from the seer. Fear prophets Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. |
| Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, becasue the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passaion for the truth. |
