Chuck Palahniuk
“Young people want mirrors. Older people want art.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Burnt Tongues

“What happened to Athenian democracy? The conservative way was overthrown by rampant innovation. Old structures were replaced with fluid, mobile opinions (i.e., democracy). Aristocratic leaders were replaced by demagogues. A similar transformation has occurred in American life, only on a more massive scale, with innovation threatening the most basic social structures. Everything has been transformed today, and nothing is what it once was. If we have conservatives in today’s society, they have almost nothing left to conserve. The licentiousness of the multitude is the supreme law, so that freedom no longer means freedom from an oppressive government. Rather, it is the freedom to behave in a manner that requires greater and greater government involvement; more and more government intervention – from family courts to health care.”
J.R.Nyquist

Brian Lumley
“It was not only the absence of light but the absence of everything. He might be at the core of a black hole, except a black hole has enormous gravity and this place had none. In one sense it was a metaphysical plane of existence, but in another it was not – because nothing existed here. It was simply a ‘place’, but a place in which no God as yet had uttered those wonderful words of evocation, ‘Let there be light!”
Brian Lumley, Necroscope!

Padre Pio
“Fear also seizes Him, and His spirit languishes in mortal sadness.”
St. Padre Pio, The Agony of Jesus

Robert Sarah
“Conversion is, in fact, a lifelong task.”
Cardinal Robert Sarah, Catechism of the Spiritual Life
