“Lighthouse keepers were once warned they shouldn’t listen to the sea for too long; likewise, you could hear voices in the static and lose your mind. It was as if there were a code in there—a code that could, as soon as your mind detected it, irrevocably conjure demons from the depths.”
― Simon Stålenhag, The Electric State

“Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for it.”

“If I were going to give my life as a servant of the King, I had to know that King. What was he like? In what could I trust him? In the same way I could trust a set of impersonal laws? Or could I trust him as a living leader, as a very present commander in battle? The question was central. Because if he were a king in name only, I would rather go back to the chocolate factory. I would remain a Christian, but I would know that my religion was only a set of principles, excellent and to be followed, but hardly demanding devotion.”
― Brother Andrew
