"[...] the denial of identity is the very signature of Satan"

[...] the denial of identity is the very signature of Satan [...] We are in sharp collision with a large number of things, some of which are real facts and all of which are real faiths. We must see these things objectively, as we do a tree; and understand that they exist whether we like them or not. We must not try and turn them into something different by the mere exercise of our own minds, as if we were witches [...] Now you can, if you choose, pass your life in a wizard dream, in which all your enemies are turned into something else [...] but if you do, you will sooner or later get into your head what is meant by an immovable post.
-November 22, 1913, Illustrated London News
