“I have arguments with myself.'
'About what?'
'Between the part of me that believes in things, and the part that doesn't.'
'And which wins?'
'Sometimes one. Sometimes the other.”
― Penelope Mortimer, The Pumpkin Eater

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

“Now I am a vagabond of the universe, a drifter among spaces where the madness of things has no limits.”
― Thomas Ligotti, Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe

“But I have not triumphed in my cause, and as long as I have not triumphed, the devil will remain at large and I will favor his being at large. I have not yet triumphed over the thing I am against. But I haven't lost yet, either. More important still, I haven't capitulated. I declare myself in a state of total war.”
― Fritz Zorn, Mars
