I suspect that 'Kindness and Cruelty' and 'Mercy and Justice' all have secret affairs, as though they rendezvous only within certain sophisticated souls: those who hate being offensive, but love telling the truth.

This is almost always the case: A piece of art receives its f(r)ame when found offensive.

Controversy is a last resort for the talentless.

Simply minding one's own business is more offensive than being intrusive. Without ever saying a word one can make a person feel less-than.

Every exceptional bias against Christianity I find to be evidence for its validity.

Comedy to me has always seemed a social tightrope for the comedian. For all axioms intellectually sound the general public would prefer to be amused, but in those emotionally sound, it then chooses to get offended.

The order of the day is people are constantly nerve-stricken after previously following the permission to live lies. An overlap into discomfort largely comes from an excess of comfort.

The Christian God seemed the most offensive to people precisely because he was the most godlike. He was too perfect even to be coaxed by human efforts, and therefore sent his son to do the job.

Whatever thing a man gets quickly enraged about is his idol, and whatever thing he makes his idol becomes his religion.
