"if... real forces of evil kill my friend, the violence introduces intimacy in its most active form... in the mournful revelation of death, I am in accord with the divinity of goodness that condemns a cruel act... I call for the violence that will restore the destroyed order. But in reality it is not violence but crime that has opened divine intimacy to me... only vengeance that is commanded by passion and a taste for untrammeled violence is divine"
-Theory Of Religion Pg. 81
