― Sheridan Le Fanu

“the deep, pure blue stirs on one’s lips a smile, innocent as itself; like the clouds over the sky, and, as it were, with them, happy memories pass in slow procession over the soul”

“There is no God, child. There’s religion but there’s no God of theirs. Their religion tells that we will get our reward in the end.

Religion is just a controlling tool they employ and adhere to when convenient.”
― Percival Everett, James

“The opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression.”
