“Even Saint Thomas Aquinas let it out that part of the blessedness of the saints in Heaven was that they could look over the battlements and enjoy the ‘proper justice’ of the sinners squirming in Hell. All winners need losers; all saints need sinners; all sages need fools—that is, so long as the major kick in life is to ‘amount to something’ or to ‘be someone’ as a particular and separate godlet.”

— Alan Watts, The Book
