Paul Valery

[bendk]

Even though Ligotti is an atheist,* part of this quote reminds me of his work.


"God made everything out of nothing. But the nothingness shows through."
-Paul Valery

"Since I’m an atheist, I can’t consider the possibility of a personal soul that is unique and unchanging."
-Yellow Jester
