HELL

"I put the Heretics in the deepest part of hell, though Dante had them spared, on higher ground.
It is heresy, against one's own sources, running in terror from one's deepest responses and insights . . . the denial of feeling . . . that I see as basest evil.
We are not talking about beliefs, which are later, after the fact of feeling. A flower, turning from moisture and sun, would turn evil colors and die."
-Amiri Baraka
