"Haven't read anything from Patternmaster in probably 15 years, and I'm honestly unsure if I've ever read this one (or just parts). Really looking forward to it." — Oct 04, 2023 01:06PM

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

― David Foster Wallace, Both Flesh and Not: Essays
