The Outsider is a very special god. I wish I could tell you everything about him-- I wish I could tell everyone-- but I don't want to bore you, or force my beliefs upon you. He does care, though, deeply; that I can say, with all the certainty of which I am capable.

Inordinate self-love is wrong, if you love yourself to the exclusion of all else... But neither should you devalue yourself. Every life is a gift; we must be thankful for our own lives, and the lives of others.
