While reading 'The Mysticism of The Cloud of Unknowing' by William Johnston tonight, I came across a passage which immediately drew my mind to Nietzsche:
"Emptying the mind of thoughts and images is of no use, is even dangerous, unless that same mind is filled with a very special love of God."
It may well be my romanticism of the situation, but I don't believe that Nietzsche lost his mind because of syphilis. Rather, I think he lost it because of his supreme capacity--and effort--to empty his mind. He managed to empty it to such an extent that he became unmoored from sanity itself.

A very bad summary of The Brothers Hawthorne, Pt. 1:
Hagrid: You're a wizard, Jameson.
Jameson: Uh, what?
Hagrid: Whoops, sorry wrong series. Harr-
Prince William: What he meant to say is that you're actually a Windsor and you're next in line for the throne of England.
Jameson, really confused: Um, don't you have a so-
Branford facepalming: An earldom. You belong to an earldom. Bloody fools, the lot of you. I'm the next earl and you'll be my heir if you wish to be, nephew.
Jameson: I-
Branford: And I'll be your father figure since you don't have one but you also need someone to keep an eye on you.
Jameson, confused and on the edge of tears: I'm so lost.
Branford: I see a lot of myself in you.
Jameson: Is this what approval feels like?
Branford, hugging his nephew and patting his back: Yes. Now shh. Let it happen.
Branford: By the way, you won a castle that belonged to my mother.
Jameson: *faints

''Sweet Dreams'' by William W. Johnstone, 1985
I want to assume that this cover was done by Lisa Falkenstern but I can't find any confirmation for that. Looks like her work IMO. Alas, many covers done for Zebra books 80s horror line went unattributed and those covers were often the only good thing about the books themselves.

If y’all are ever bored with nothing to do, I’d definitely take a look at this Wikipedia page
There’s some awfully weird things that these dudes named their horses, let’s get into a few.
Of course we have the two Jeff Davis’. I’ll never get over Grant naming his horse that.
All I know about Johnston is that he was a confederate that died at the battle of Shiloh. I’m sure after he died his horse ran away to find an owner who wouldn’t name it “Fire-Eater”. If I were a horse named Fire-Eater I would definitely have a problem with the dude who named me that.
Chamberlain, I love you. You did a good job at Gettysburg, you were a good professor, and that mustache is legendary. But you named your horse “Charlemagne”. It sounds like a spell out of a Harry Potter book. I have no clue how to pronounce that, but it looks more like “Charles-magnet”
Y’know how there’s two different types of cat owners, one will named their cat “Angel” while the other names it “Cool Ranch Doritos 5000”? This is the equivalent but with horses.
There’s plenty more of these, I’d seriously go check it out. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
