Favorite saying

• ""The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid land of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us a little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." H.P. Lovecraft "Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward all the life there is with all the courage you can find and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand. All the rest is darkness." Stephen King "Now is the time to believe in yourself, have no fear how others think of you or will judge you, for your greatness will silence them all...Unbreakable" "When we are, we are nothing, and when we are nothing, we are still nothing. We are the in-between, the space unkempt, and the space unseen; we are the vast and the knowing-we are the sky" M. Amanuensis Sharkchild"
