“Every man knows that he will die: and nobody believes it. On that paradox stand not only a host of religions but the entity of a sane being.”
John Myers Myers

“The steps to degradation are only three: the actuality of the shameful condition, the recognition of the actuality while feeling unable to do anything about it, and then acceptance of it as the normal state of affairs.”
John Myers Myers, Silverlock

“Don’t take it hard. Your heart will heal up, if it hasn’t already, and will be all the stronger for having had a work out. Here,”
John Myers Myers, Silverlock
