Woe betide the man who refuses to conform.

A man with a soul is not like every other man.

Cut off from his religious, metaphysical and transcendental roots, man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless.

Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to him that refuses it when it is.

Listen to my tale of woe.

Politics separate men by bringing them together only superficially. Art and culture unite us in a common anguish that is our only possible fraternity, that of our existential and metaphysical community.
