Quotes by Greg Kuznetsov  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He knew it—this was the rainbow serpent. He felt a strange sense of connection—as if the snake was calling out to him, and he had to return its call and find it, no matter what. It was as if they were both bound to each other by an infinite rope of destiny spread out across every corner of the universe, and finding each other was but a survival instinct—a basic human need.”
Greg Kuznetsov, Eyes of the Rainbow Serpent

“I’ve spent eons marvelling at the immaculate design of single snowflakes, which exist for but a few moments, only to be lost forever in the snow of eternity.”
Greg Kuznetsov, Jupiter's Black Diamond and Other Stories

“From the moment of its birth, Fire is employed by nature to consume everything until nothing remains but itself.”
Greg Kuznetsov, Jupiter's Black Diamond and Other Stories

“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
Jack London

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“For if a lover's face survives emblazoned on your heart, the world is still your home.”
Orhan Pamuk, My Name Is Red

“Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves.
This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image”
Bruce Lee

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”

emmadazey Helloo!

Thought I'd share some examples of my favourite animal-oriented weird fiction (in no particular order):

Lives of the Monster Dogs

Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife

Timothy; or, Notes of an Abject Reptile

Looking forward to reading your work - once I've got my hands on physical / analogue / ink-and-paper copies (hashtag: oldskoolgenxreader ;D)...

All the best with your passions and pursuits,

emmadazey

P.S. I'm presently, if not habitually, sporadic in my online activity (see hashtag, above ;) so please forgive if I'm slow to respond :)
