Magick may be no more than the willful invocation of awe.

A book may only be judged for what it is, not what you'd like it to be.

Art should never be a slave to commerce, but for all working artists that's exactly what it must be.

No story has a beginning, and no story has an end. Beginnings and endings may be conceived to serve a purpose, to serve a momentary and transient intent, but they are, in their fundamental nature, arbitrary and exist solely as a convenient construct in the minds of man. Lives are messy, and when we set out to relate them, or parts of them, we cannot ever discern precise and objective moments when any given event began. All beginnings are arbitrary.

I need a world filled with wonder, with awe, with awful things. I couldn't exist in a world devoid of marvels, even if the marvels are terrible marvels. Even if they frighten me to consider them.

Ghosts are those memories that are too strong to be forgotten for good, echoing across the years and refusing to be obliterated by time.
