Black: The Birth of Evil
Quotes from the Book
Who’s to say that it takes something like a drug to mess with your perception of reality? How did Hitler deceive a nation? How can one group of people look at the world and see one thing, and another see something completely different? One sees a town, another sees a desert. One sees beauty, another sees chaos.” The skin of this world,” he said quietly.
It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be found.
Cause I don't think we ever really get over our childhood. It's always there, waiting.
What we see may deceive us - the skin may be deceptive - but there has to be one truth, right? It can't all just be a jumble of perceptions. So what really exists out there, beyond what we can see? We're so dependent on the surfaces of what we see. But if we could see past the skin of this world...
...beauty was found beyond the surface. It was there, beyond the skin of this world, that a cure of ugliness could be could.
