It’s not demons (who at least have a human face) but Hell itself that seems to be laughing inside me, it’s the croaking madness of the dead universe, the spinning cadaver of physical space, the end of all worlds blowing blackly in the wind, formless and timeless, without a God who created it, without even its own self, impossibly whirling in the absolute darkness as the one and only reality, everything. Fernando Pessoa

The anguish I always feel when she's in pain wells up in my chest and threatens to register on my face. Suzanne Collins

Chimerical and empty being, your name alone has caused more blood to flow on the face of the earth than any political war ever will.
