Augusten Burroughs Quotes

Augusten Burroughs

I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are.

When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished. Madeleine L'Engle

Sheen
