“Lost faith is worse than no faith at all, because it leaves behind a gaping hole much like the hollow that the spirit left when it abandoned this accursed world. But by their very nature, those God-shaped voids demand to be filled with something as precious as that which was lost. The choice of that something, if indeed it is a choice at all, rules the destiny of man.”
― Benjamín Labatut, The Maniac

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
― Douglas Everett
