Gustave Flaubert
“The more you approach infinity, the deeper you penetrate terror”
Gustave Flaubert

Mark  Lawrence
“We all practice self-deception to a degree; no man can handle complete honesty without being cut at each turn. There's not enough room in a man's head for sanity alongside each grief, each worry, each terror that he owns. I’m well used to burying such things in a dark cellar and moving on.”
Mark Lawrence, Prince of Fools
