Independence Saws Revolt

More From Mervyn Peake

To revolt within society in order to make it a little better, to bring about certain reforms, is like the revolt of prisoners to improve their life within the prison walls; and such revolt is no revolt at all, it is just mutiny. do you see the difference? revolt within society is like the mutiny of prisoners who want better food, better treatment within the prison; but revolt born of understanding is an individual breaking away from society, and that is creative revolution.

Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination, and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. the most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.
Lying Mean Men
Some people give theirselves a certain number of white weeks once in a year, when they do not drink a single drop of alcohol. it is really wise. i myself have a few weeks per year, let us call them white or black, when i am not interested in the world around. when i come back from this isolation of the news, i realize that i have missed nothing significant. we live in the rain of disinformation and rumors, where the truth is a very small number. in those weeks of dissociation i seek for knowledge that lies within me.
