Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”
― John Green

“In the vaults of our hearts and brains, danger waits. All the chambers are not lovely, light and high. There are holes in the floor of the mind, like those in a medieval dungeon floor - the stinking oubliettes, named for forgetting, bottle-shaped cells in solid rock with the trapdoor in the top.

― Thomas Harris, Hannibal
