"Oh, the torment bred in the race,
the grinding scream of death
and the stroke that hits the vein,
the hemorrhage none can staunch, the grief,
the curse no man can bear.
But there is a cure in the house,
and not outside it, no,
not from others but from them,
their bloody strife. We sing to you,
dark gods beneath the earth.
Now hear, you blissful powers underground –
answer the call, send help,
Bless the children, give them triumph now."
(Aeschylus, The Libation Bearers)
"Listen to the night wind as it whispers your name,
It is calling.
Watch as leaves dance like tongues of flame,
It is calling.
Feel a chill rattle through your frame,
It is almost here."

"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery."

"Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting."
-John Russel
"Battle not with monsters
lest ye become a monster;
and if you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes into you."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"No man knows what he will do when driven by hunger."
