“But I have not triumphed in my cause, and as long as I have not triumphed, the devil will remain at large and I will favor his being at large. I have not yet triumphed over the thing I am against. But I haven't lost yet, either. More important still, I haven't capitulated. I declare myself in a state of total war.”
― Fritz Zorn, Mars

“In the dreaming man's dream, the dreamed man awoke.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Circular Ruins

“You see, Reverend, I would be alright if only I didn't have to hear it any more.' 'But what dear friend?' 'Do you really hear nothing? Do you not hear the terrible voice screaming around us on every side, the voice commonly known as silence? Since I came to this silent valley I have heard it all the time, it won't let me sleep, oh yes, Reverend, if only I could sleep again.”
― Georg Büchner, Lenz

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
