Arthur Koestler's 'Arrow in the Blue'

2 Upvotes

“The new light seems to pour from all directions across the skull; the whole universe falls into pattern like the stray pieces in a jigsaw puzzle assembled by magic at one stroke. There is an answer to every question: doubts and conflicts are a matter of the tortured past - a past already remote, when one had lived in dismal ignorance in the tasteless, colourless world of those who don’t know. Nothing henceforth can disturb the convert’s inner peace and serenity — except the occasional fear of losing faith again, losing thereby what alone makes life worth living, and falling back into the outer darkness, where there is is wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

The Best Line in Any Book is…

0 Upvotes

For Me…The Best Line in any Book is “Big Bands,Broom Bands,Pig Bands,Boom Bands” from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler

What Does it Mean?:

It Means Hitler Evokes a Sense of his Usual Self Calling Everyone around him Fools and Comparing them to a Loud Band,or A Group of Bands in Particular said Phrasing,To Him they are also Very Noisy,Devoid of Filth,Dirty and Wants to Blow them up

How is it So Good?:

It’s Got a Good Rhythm and Flow to It,It is a Punchy Insult,But May sound Too Soft for Some,He Made it Partly Punchy Partly soft for Mainstream and Non Mainstream Audiences
