“Into every abyss I still bear the blessing of my affirmation”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“I don't know whether I actually did anything. Whether I was actually responsible for or had any influence on her escape. But I let her believe it, because it meant the world could be something more than just the people trying to destroy us.”
― B.R. Yeager, Negative Space

“I am the egg that surrounds and nurtures the seed of the God in me.”
― C.G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus

“I returned slowly through the mists of winter. Time lay more thickly about me than the mists. I was so unused to moving through time that I felt like a man walking under water. Time exerted great pressure on my blood vessels and my eardrums, so that I suffered from terrible headaches, weakness and nausea. Time clogged the hooves of my mare until she lay down beneath me and died. Nebulous Time was now time past; I crawled like a worm on its belly through the clinging mud of common time and the bare trees showed only the dreary shapes of an eternal November of the heart, for now all changes would henceforth be, as they had been before, absolutely predictable. And so I identified at last the flavour of my daily bread; it was and would be that of regret.”
― Angela Carter, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
