I feel like there is so much I want to say…but I can’t find the words right now. So I think quotes will have to do.

” If you can imagine fighting your way through a howling gale and then stepping into a soundproof room and shutting the door, then I can begin to describe the transistion wrought…” “Then I strip my mustard-ugly robe, step into the scalding, scouring heat of the shower, and wash away the evidence in a froth of Clairol’s Hearbal Essence shampoo.” –Caroline Kettlewell, Skin Game.

“Through me the way into the suffering city, through me the way to eternal pain, through me the way that runs among the lost. Justice urged on my high artificer; my maker was Divine Authority, the Highest Wisdom, and the Primal Love. Before me, nothing but eternal things were made, and I endure eternally. Abandon every hope, who enter here.” –Dante’s Inferno.

“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.” –Friedrich Nietzsche

“As for my own life, I’m still battling my civil war against the tyrants….Life seems so odd to me now. The people who love us can’t always help us. And the people who do help us sometimes need more in return than we’re capable of giving.” –Terry Spencer Hesser, Kissing Doorknobs.
