If one is to lift a whole generation, verily one must know it.
Hence it is that these proclaimers of Christianity who begin straightway with orthodoxy
have not much influence, and that only upon the few. For Christendom is very far behind.
One must begin with paganism. So it was that I began with Either/Or.
thereby I got the generation to go with me; it did not even dream whither it was going,
or where we are now. But people became aware of the problems...
They might now leave me alone, they might put me to death --
it avails nothing, they have me for life...
my whole work as an author is one great thought, and that is:
to wound from behind.
