Alexandra BreckenridgeThe heart sends blood to every cell of the body, and in this way the cells are nourished. The same blood then flows back to the heart. If the flow is obstructed, the person will die. We need to learn this process of give and take from the heart.

If one link is weakened, it will affect the strength of the whole chain.

William FaulknerSee what's inside a drop of water. The whole seed of the universe. Come, come. See what's inside a drop of blood. The composition of life. It's all there. Hate as well.

I have to concentrate on that mystery. Read everything there is. It has to be in a drop of blood. It has to have its chemistry.

Ludwig FeuerbachI say to you with all the fervor of my soul that God intended men to be free. Rebellion against tyranny is a righteous cause. It is an enormous evil for any man to be enslaved to any system contrary to his own will. For that reason men, 200 years ago, pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. No nation which has kept the commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once freedom is lost, only blood - human blood - will win it back.

I know this must seem obscure and confused, but I can't say it more clearly. I love you madly, irrationally, infinitely.

Clive BarkerI hated the things they believe in, the things they so innocently and charmingly pretended. I hated the sanctimonious piety that let people hurt helpless creatures.
