“But what is the greatest evil? If you’re going to epitomize evil, what is it? Is it the [atomic] bomb? The greatest evil that one has to fight constantly, every minute of the day until one dies, is the worst part of oneself.”
― Collin Cleary, Summoning the Gods

“And all eventually fail, including man. However, traditional man rose above this fate by choosing it: by consciously choosing to live toward death; to create a glorious life for himself and a glorious death, which would be sung about and celebrated by future generations.”
― Collin Cleary, Summoning the Gods

“You never realize how fragile you are until you’re already in pieces.”

“In paganism, by contrast, good cannot be separated from beauty—and this is quite normal, since what is good are the most accomplished forms of this world. Consequently, art cannot be separated from religion. Art is sacred. Not only can the gods be represented, but art is how they can be represented, and insofar as men perpetually assure them of re-presentation, they have a full status of existence. All European spirituality is based on representation as mediation between the visible and the invisible, on representation by means of depicted figures and signs exchanged against a meaning intimately tied to the real, the very guarantee of this incessant and mutual conversion of the sign and of meaning. Beauty is the visible sign of what is good; ugliness the visible sign of not only what is deformed or spoiled, but bad.21”
