Sympathetic Devil

“Slaves dream of freedom, commoners dream of becoming kings, what do kings dream of?”
― Frederick Pohl

“Surrounded by madness, surrounded by hunger, surrounded by everything but death, I knew death was our only way out.”
― Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

“If you don’t remember Death, Death reminds you to do so. And if you can’t cope with the facts the next best thing is to go away for a holiday.”
― Muriel Spark, Memento Mori

“Death was the only question that contained its own answer, and when you asked the question and had the answer you were gone, you were nothing.”
― Robert Silverberg, At Winter's End
