Thomas Erikson
“Words can have incredible power, but the words we choose and how we use them vary. As you have seen from the title of this book, there are different interpretations of—yes, you got it—words. And when you use the wrong word, well, maybe then you’re an idiot”
Thomas Erikson, Surrounded by Idiots

“But I can't translate it the right way, that's why I always use so many languages around you, because there're some things that simply can't translate, that are beautiful when you read them the original way.”
DarknessAndLight, I Sold Myself To The Devil For Vinyls... Pitiful I Know
