The Reformed Reader

“Rist always found there was something bittersweet about finishing a book. The sense of achievement and joy was often tarnished by the realisation that he could never read it the same way again. He could, of course, start from page one and read through to the end, but it wouldn’t be the same. His preconceptions and notions were irrevocably altered by the first read.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of War and Ruin

“we honour the dead not by how we mourn their death, but by how we live on despite it.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light

“Books are not a complete history. They are only the history people chose to record.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light

“The day we stop learning is the day we will be consumed by what we do not know.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Blood and Fire
