Quotes by Glen Duncan

“Kneecaps only exist to get hit with claw-hammers; grace only exists to be fallen from.”
― Glen Duncan, I, Lucifer: Finally, the Other Side of the Story

17 people liked it

Disembowelled landscape busy with suffering, incessant heat, permanent scarlet twilight, a swirling snowfall of ash, the stink of pain and the din of...if only, hell is two things: the absence of God and the presence of time.

― Glen Duncan, I, Lucifer
