Book cover for Summer of Night (Seasons of Horror, #1)
Summer of Night, while on the surface a horror novel, is actually a celebration of the secrets and silences of childhood. But it’s also a tale of a separate world of childhood that we’ve lost or may be on the verge of losing.

“Caution is the path to mediocrity. Gliding, passionless mediocrity is all that most people think they can achieve.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

Frank Herbert
“Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.
Darwi Odrade - Chapterhouse: Dune”

Frank Herbert
“Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

Osamu Dazai
“Whenever I was asked what I wanted my first impulse was to answer "Nothing." The thought went through my mind that it didn't make any difference, that nothing was going to make me happy.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”
