― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.”
― Aleister Crowley, Diary of a Drug Fiend

“I cling unto the burning Æthyr like Lucifer that fell through the Abyss, and by the fury of his flight kindled the air.
And I am Belial, for having seen the Rose upon thy breast, I have denied God.
And I am Satan! I am Satan! I am cast out upon a burning crag! And the sea boils about the desolation thereof. And already the vultures gather, and feast upon my flesh.”
― Aleister Crowley, The Vision and the Voice: With Commentary and Other Papers

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at anytime and be yourself.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
