M.D. Elster
“The hours wear on, while the surreal atmosphere of the asylum does not wear off.”
M.D. Elster, Four Kings

Vsevolod Garshin
“The flower, as he saw it, ruled over evil; it absorbed in itself all innocently shed blood (that is why it is so red) all tears and all the gall of humanity. It was an awful and mysterious being, the antitheses of God, an Ahriman presenting a most unassuming and innocent appearance. It was necessary to break it off and kill it. But this was not all; it was also necessary not to permit it at its death to discharge its evil upon the world.”
Vsevolod Garshin
