“I was not happy as a child, although from time to time I was content. I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

― brom, Krampus: The Yule Lord

“Then, having thus made the Creator responsible for all those pains and diseases and miseries above enumerated, and which he could have prevented, the gifted Christian blandly calls him Our Father!

― Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings
