Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.

I think all the heretics I have known have been virtuous men. They have the virtue of fortitude or they would not venture to own their heresy; and they cannot afford to be deficient in any of the other virtues, as that would give advantage to their many enemies; and they have not like orthodox sinners, such a number of friends to excuse or justify them. Do not, however mistake me. It is not to my good friend's heresy that I impute his honesty. On the contrary, 'tis his honesty that has brought upon him the character of heretic.

The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature.

Act Of God
In my eyes sedition surrounds
One damned life beaten and bound
An act of mercy, a scene of pain
There is no difference, it's all in your name
This act of god
Lights of faith blinding my eyes
Fires of hate scorch through the skies
Lost in your darkness, burned by your flame
Forced to believe it's all in your name
This act of god
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart
Life conflicts, we're already dead
Death restricts enlightenment
Love is paradox, hate is insane
There is no difference, it's all in your name
This act of god
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart

I believe that Orthodoxy has been thinking lately, and despite other impressions, that we can't have full sacramental communion if we don't first have a fundamental agreement on the question of the primacy, that still isn't there.

I do not say think as I think, but think in my way. Fear no shadows, least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.

To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.

Nietzche started a nonsensical idea that men had once sought as good what we now call evil; if it were so, we could not talk of surpassing or even falling short of them.

Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.

I was just then going through a healthy reaction from the orthodoxy of my youth; religion had become for me not so much a possession as an obsession, which I was trying to throw off, and this iconoclastic tale of an imaginary tribe was the result.
