Margaret  Rogerson
“They would martyr me themselves to satisfy their hunger for a saint.”
Margaret Rogerson, Vespertine

Linda Hogan
“What a strange alchemy we have worked, turning earth around to destroy itself, using earth's own elements to wound it.”
Linda Hogan, Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World

W.B. Yeats
“...the Byzantine style, which so few care for to-day, but which moves me because these tall, emaciated angels and saints seem to have less relation to the world about us than to an abstract pattern of flowing lines that suggest an imagination absorbed in the contemplation of Eternity.”
W.B. Yeats, The Tables of the Law

Emil M. Cioran
“Saintliness is a special kind of madness. While the madness of mortals exhausts itself in useless and fantastic actions, holy madness is a conscious effort towards winning everything.”
Emil M. Cioran

Emil M. Cioran
“Paganism is the deepening of appearances, while saintliness is the sickness of depths.”
Emil M. Cioran, Tears and Saints
