John Locke
Denis Diderot quote: "It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley; but..."
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley; but not at all so to believe or not in God. Denis Diderot
What began the change was the very writing itself. Let no one lightly set about such a work. Memory, once waked, will play the tyrant. C. S. Lewis
It's a dark, cool, quiet place. A basement in your soul. And that place can sometimes be dangerous to the human mind. I can open the door and enter that darkness, but I have to be very careful. I can find my story there. Then I bring that thing to the surface, into the real world. Haruki Murakami
