Damien Echols Quotes
My Life Has Taught Me That True Spiritual Insight Can Come About Only Through Direct Experience, The Way A Severe Burn Can Be Attained Only By Putting Your Hand In The Fire. Faith Is Nothing More Than A Watered-down Attempt To Accept Someone Else's Insight As Your Own. Belief Is The Psychic Equivalent Of An Article Of Secondhand Clothing, Worn-out And Passed Down. I Equate True Spiritual Insight With Wisdom, Which Is Different From Knowledge. Knowledge Can Be Obtained Through Many Sources: Books, Stories, Songs, Legends, Myths, And, In Modern Times, Computers And Television Programs. On The Other Hand, There's Only One Real Source Of Wisdom - Pain. Any Experience That Provides A Person With Wisdom Will Also Usually Provide Them With A Scar. The Greater The Pain, The Greater The Realization. Faith Is Spiritual Rigor Mortis.
