Dylan Doose > Quotes

“Every man and woman is subject to seasons within the self. Most do all they can to make an endless inner summer, do all they can to pursue and hold the warm season, the season of joy. That is the pursuit of the many, and a foolish pursuit it is. Humankind does not pick the seasons of the outside world. It is beyond their power; so too is controlling the seasons within. The fall must come when joy runs its course, and at the bottom of the fall comes the long season, the true season, the human season: winter. For woe is man, woe is his soul, and woe is his flesh. If it were not this way we would never cherish the warm rays of the sun when the summer finally comes. An endless summer would be nothingness. Endless happiness is nothingness. We can love the warmth only when we have suffered the cold.”

“Over his shoulder, Theron scowled at Aldous and Kendrick both. “There is something you despise, so you narrow your minds into only accepting the direct opposite. Instead of making an attempt to walk down any of the other near limitless paths of spirit, you choose to abandon them all because of a hatred for one.”
