“Bowman doesn't believe in supernatural entities; no one does anymore. Not God, nor gods, nor ghosts of any kind, yet from some ultimate depth of the most primitive part of his mind, the ancient concept of one of these things beings to crawl upward.”
― Marcus Sedgwick, The Ghosts of Heaven

“They say that people standing on a height are drawn downwards, as it were, of their own accord, to the abyss. I think that a lot of suicides and murders have been committed merely because the revolver was already in hand. There's an abyss here as well, there's a forty-five-degree slope down which you can't help but slide and something relentlessly challenges you to pull the trigger.”
― Dostoevsky
