Eternal combat with phantoms

Posted on August 26, 2026 by robchristopher

“Superstitions, bigotries, hypocracies, prejudices, those phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life; they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and they must be clasped close, body to body, and war must be made on them, and that without truce; for it is one of the fatalities of humanity to be condemned to eternal combat with phantoms. It is difficult to seize darkness by the throat, and to hurl it to the earth.”

–Victor Hugo
