" ' Truth is a hard dear to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth. If was not idly that our fathers forbade the Dead Places.' He was right-it is better the truth should come little by little. I have learned that, being a priest. Perhaps, in the old days, they ate knowledge too fast." ( By the Waters of Babylon)
I found a lot of common ground between Stephen Benet and Ayn Rand's works. Both wrote dystropian novels where the folly of mankind lead to its ultimate destruction. Ayn Rand and Stephen Benet both picked on values people of their time treasured most and depicted how an overdose of these elements would be fatal. Stephen Benet picked knowledge and information, Ayn Rand picked on the moral principles of sacrifices.
