Ineluctable Quotes

“My grandfather had been the ugliest, darkest, foulest, most depraved figure of my childhood, more beast than human, and I had grown up to be him, locked in the basement with my secrets as the rest of the family reveled in the petty and ordinary upstairs. Down there, I saw my black, ancient, ineluctable core exposed, like a crab forced out of its shell--dirty, vulnerable, and obscene. For the first time in my life, I was truly alone.”
― Marilyn Manson, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell

“The Universe did not ask for justification before it came into existence.”
― Fred Van Lente, Ivar, Timewalker, Vol. 2: Breaking History
