“The God Thou servest is thine own appetite, wherein is fixed the love of Beelzebub. To Him I'll build an altar and a church, and offer lukewarm blood of new-born babes.”
― Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus

“I do not know how to forget you.
It cannot be learned, nor willed.
You are with me, for better or worse.”
― Noor Shirazie, Into the Wildfire: Mourning Departures

“I knew that what was left of me would always love you, but never in quite the same way.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“i refuse to go quietly.

if we are to end this,
you will allow me to mourn from the rooftop,
crumble with enough fury to shake the earth,
and compose myself with enough dignity
to impress us both.

we shall move on,
but not before i respect us enough
to give this the farewell it deserves.”
― Noor Shirazie, Into the Wildfire: Mourning Departures
