“Please don’t mistake Love for sentimentality or weakness. Real Love is a fierce thing. Love allows things that must end to die, and it looks at suffering without blinking. Love is an extension toward unity, not a prison or something that can be expressed with a greeting card.”

“I believe that the four elements and the psychological handicaps that they create are the real secret behind the "four princes " described in The Abramelin.Each of the fo ur ancient elements has a positive psycho­ logical potential as well . The earth element can allow mechan­ical dexterity, and the enjoyment of physical affection.Water can provide intuition. Air can provide logic and problem­ solving skill s. Fire can produce the ability to make decisions,and carry through with them.Even if you already experience these things in some degree or another, they are somewhat repressed by self- doubt and anxiety.Once you have attained the Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel, you will have the ability to be the master of all of these elements, and that will be the beginning of true magi­ cal ability.”

“And love? Well, if sex is sweet and death is bitter, love is both. Love will always and forever break your heart.”

“Myths are supposed to teach us something, but what’s the life lesson 
in this sad tale of Orpheus? No good deed goes unpunished? Fuck that, 
ain’t no such thing as a good deed. Love conquers all? Never has, never 
will. Maybe the moral of the story is that those in power are just as 
fucked up as those who ain’t and the worst thing a body can do is give up 
his or her own power to some buttheads on Mount Olympus ‘cause if they’re 
so fuckin’ powerful, how’d they let us get away with all this shit in the 
first place? Answer me that.”

“To live fully, we must learn to use things and love people, and not love things and use people.”

“...love is suffering - that's the happy ending...”

“...the real absurdity is that to love is to suffer, but the reverse isn't always true...”
