“You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.”
― Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is really fear.”

“Edna more willingly believed in Elohim's beneficence. When the river had returned to its natural southward current, she wondered how many other miracles they would take for granted with such lack of gratitude. The provision of food to fill their bellies? More salvation from the enemy's mace? The devoted love of a man with a woman? The conception of a new human life? The birth of a child? It seemed everything kept pointing back to Methuselah in her heart.”
― Brian Godawa, Enoch Primordial

“Where is Edna?” The beauty glared at him with incredulity, exotic make up accentuating her every breath-taking feature. “Are you mocking me?” “I am sorry, what?” he replied. “Are you that thickheaded? It is me, silly,” said the girl. It hit him like a ton of mud bricks. This gorgeous vision of feminine transcendence frowning at him was none other than the transformed presentation of his immature scrawny little boyish girl Edna. His little Pedna. How could he have never seen her this way before? He stumbled back a step and almost fainted. He knew at that very moment that he would never be happy in this life again until he married this goddess.”
