    “The one thing I can tell you is that you wont survive for yourself. I know because I would never have come this far.

Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body. As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart.”

Peace promised in any other time or place was a lie.”
