“If I doubt your intentions I will never trust your actions.”
― Carlos Wallace

“Your heart beats against the palm of my hand.
Its
need
to be
one with me
drips
between my fingertips
as I squeeze perfect drops of love into small
receptacles to be preserved,

for later.”
― N'Zuri Za Austin, Fragments of a Reflection: Short Stories & Poetry

“One of the less savory notions of the early Church was that of the abominable fancy, the idea that part of the joy of the saved lay in contemplating the tortures of the damned.”
― Alice K. Turner, The History of Hell

“Sometimes snakes can’t slough. They can’t burst their old skin. Then they go sick and die inside the old skin, and nobody ever sees the new pattern. It needs a real desperate recklessness to burst your old skin at last. You simply don’t care what happens to you, if you rip yourself in two, so long as you do get out.”
― D.H. Lawrence , Studies in Classic American Literature
