"The Beast is our thwarted death, lashing out by seeking the destruction of everything worthwhile. What, then, can we say of this strange urge that holds us transfixed by the most common of sights? What is it that shows us the beauty that was hidden before? ...
Every moment we spend engaged in the stuff of life — making something that lasts, learning something unknown, opening ourselves to the touch of another’s art — makes our human element stronger."
I found this to be pretty insightful not just about the toreador but life in general, suprisingly deep.
It really comes together half way through, 'aesthetic unveiled '. Where it talks about the embrace and the internal logic of toreador culture. One of the stronger clan novels.
"It can be difficult, when faced with such pleasures, to remember that staying in touch with humanity means staying in touch with its pains as well as its pleasures."
