“Religion does not help me. The faith that others give to what is unseen, I give to what one can touch, and look at. My gods dwell in temples made with hands; and within the circle of actual experience is my creed made perfect and complete: too complete, it may be, for like many or all of those who have placed their heaven in this earth, I have found in it not merely the beauty of heaven, but the horror of hell also.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis and Other Writings

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?

everywhere.”

From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe. She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
“After all this time?”
“Always,” said Snape.”

“To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.”
