The book is also wonderfully quotable. While it is extremely difficult to read, it has good reflections. The following:

"The Messiah has gathered around himself a company of human beings which has challenged all other social groupings. He has reached for a crown which will allow no rival crowns beside it. Because he has come history has divided itself into two, its back broken on this outcrop of rock upon which it cannot negotiate."

p. 290.
