Human Struggle Quotes

“A lifetime of eating at the foot of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil had produced a vision of saints and sinners.

“Across the meadow and past the creek,
Behind the willows and the oak trees,
I saw a woman of dark skin,
Her mood unlike any I've seen.

“I've suffered under many tortures throughout the years.
None of this pain is new to me,

Though I wish I was a man of fantasy.
You can't deter me from my destiny:
I'll reach the dark tower made of hands,
Even though you've silently advised against,

For I sincerely am a curious man.”
― L.C. Atencio
