Renounce love and you can achieve demonic focus.
Glen Duncan

What interests me is love, sex, death, cruelty, compassion and the desire for meaning in an apparently godless universe. In other words the human condition.

When I see gurgling retarded children (that's God's doing, by the way, not mine) happily styling their hair with their own stinking mards, I think of Adam in those pre-marital days. I know he's your great-to-the-nth-degree-granddad and all - but I'm afraid he was rather an imbecile.

Bliss defies description, obviously, since it annihilates you, since you're not there to experience it. You get the lead-up and the come-down, never the zenith.
Glen Duncan
Image
Only meaning can make a difference and we all know there's no meaning. All stories express a desire for meaning, not meaning itself. Therefore any difference knowing the story makes is a delusion.

Grace only exists to be fallen from.

We go to the past to lay the blame - since the past can't argue. We go to our past selves to account for our present miseries.
Glen Duncan
Image
That's what happens when you keep a secret from someone you love: you start to hate them for allowing you to prove your own willingness to deceive them.
Glen Duncan
Image
Literature is humanity's broad-minded alter-ego, with room in its heart for monsters, even for you. It's humanity without the judgement.
Glen Duncan
Image
No amount of violence you've done to others prepares you for violence done to yourself.
Glen Duncan
Image
I'm an American. We're a people diseased with progress.
Glen Duncan
Image
The flesh had infinity in it. I must know every inch by touch yet every inch renewed its mystery the instant my hand moved on. Delightful endless futility.
Glen Duncan
Image
Life is nothing but a statement of what happens to be.
Glen Duncan
Image
Kneecaps only exist to get hit with claw-hammers grace only exists to be fallen from.
Glen Duncan
Image
Poets suffer occasional delusions of angelhood and find themselves condemned to express it in the bric-a-brac tongues of the human world. Lots of them go mad.

The rain's been racing earthwards as if with some religious or political fanaticism. The clouds have the look of dark internal bleeding. Surely you lot look up from Cosmo while this sort of thing's going on? Surely you take a Playstation break?
