“Lustfully, you consume the news, printed and broadcast,<\/p>\n
of ax murderers, kidnapings, drug addiction, police beatings,<\/p>\n
lynchings, stonings, riots, revolutions, battles, tortures, sodomies-<\/p>\n
lustfully, to satisfy the part of you behind the wall, which must<\/p>\n
be satisfied somehow. But this you never relate to yourself.<\/p>\n
Should an example of it actually touch your life, you will<\/p>\n
use your wall to mark off the example as an atrocious and<\/p>\n
wanton blow of meaningless fate. You do not see it as an<\/p>\n
ineluctable expression of the instincts you have said\u00a0 do<\/p>\n
not exist. But you are Attila. You are Salome.<\/p>\n
You are every man on every rack- every moaning and foaming<\/p>\n
gobbet of flesh in history- every good impulse and also<\/p>\n
every evil one. By denying the existence of the evil in you,<\/p>\n
you have forced upon it an autonomous existence and it<\/p>\n
has marched clear around the globe and it is ready<\/p>\n
to consume you”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Philip Wylie.<\/p>\n
