Re: Original Quotes
"When people speak of wanting 'the truth' in society it's almost always a rote request with no real reason behind it. The truth of a small matter will have just as much effect as a large one on their daily lives; that is, very little changes except for circumstances. What they ask is for their beliefs to be validated by people other than themselves, to make a lie as invincible as any truth."

Re: Original Quotes
"Anyone who makes a habit of fashioning another human being in such a way that they appear to maintain some special relation to the Divine is better off getting a dog."

"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."
~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil" |

Re: Original Quotes
"Even in my happiest moments I cannot fully enjoy myself, since I am not able to stop thinking about Death, Disease and Duty lurking around the corner."
| |||||||||||
Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.
