Book cover for His Black Tongue
An image flashed through his mind, of fiery pits and naked, writhing bodies—of fire and void, and an eternity of mangled ruin.

Robin Hobb
“Men cannot grieve as dogs do. But they grieve for many years.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Apprentice

Theodore Roethke
“Epidermal Macabre

Indelicate is he who loathes
The aspect of his fleshy clothes,-
The flying fabric stitched on bone,
The vesture of the skeleton,
The garment neither fur nor hair,
The cloak of evil and despair,
The veil long violated by
Caresses of the hand and eye.
Yet such is my unseemliness:
I hate my epidermal dress,
The savage blood's obscenity,
The rags of my anatomy,
And willingly would I dispense
With false accouterments of sense,
To sleep immodestly, a most
Incarnadine and carnal ghost.”
Theodore Roethke

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
“The plain truth, I may as well admit it, is that I've never been really right in the head.”
Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night

“Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.”
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything
