Ibis Quotes

“There is within me a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction ...”
― James Hurst, The Scarlet Ibis

“Even angels sin. Just look at Satan.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19

“Pangea split so now we're filled in a fit of pique.
We brim with lust, spirit willing, but the flesh is weak.
Consumed by greed, shoving everything down our throat.
Sloth a cottonseed, weaving us, we are a coat.
Zeal reveals our hearts conceal a deep and endless pit.
Grudge we hold against the world, she owes us every bit.
Iblis sees humanity's impending aftermath.
So now my friend, a gift he gives, its ink is wrath.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19
