“One intriguing way to enter into the battle between good and evil, life and death, sanity and madness, is in the pages of fiction.”

“Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.”

“No one should brave the underworld alone.”

“Read this and thought of you: Through joy and through sorrow, I wrote. Through hunger and through thirst, I wrote. Through good report and through ill report, I wrote. Through sunshine and through moonshine, I wrote. What I wrote it is unnecessary to say. ~ Edgar Allen Poe”

“The Last Battle was not hope. The Last Battle was death. But it was a place to be, a place to go.”

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”

“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
