Ragnarök

“wrong that cannot be repaired must be transcended”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

“The Norse myths are the myths of a chilly place, with long, long winter nights and endless summer days, myths of a people who did not entirely trust or even like their gods, although they respected and feared them.”
― Neil Gaiman, Norse Mythology

“The secrets inside her mind are like flowers in a garden at nighttime, filling the darkness with perfume.”
― Fumiko Enchi, Masks

“What monotheism undoubtedly did was to make many people far more intolerant than before, thereby contributing to the spread of religious persecutions and holy wars. Polytheists found it perfectly acceptable that different people will worship different gods and perform diverse rites and rituals. (…) Monotheists, in contrast, believed that their God was the only god, and that He demanded universal obedience. Consequently, as Christianity and Islam spread around the world, so did the incidence of crusades, jihads, inquisitions and religious discrimination.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
