“You cannot deny, my dear friend, that there are in existence creatures who are neither man nor beast, but strange unearthly creations, born of the nefarious passions that arise in distorted minds.”
― Hanns Heinz Ewers, Alraune

“I have drunken deep of joy,
And I will taste no other wine tonight.”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley

“And in the livid night there creeps a basilisk, spawned by the moon after its strange fashion. The moon – eternally barren - is its father, but its mother is the sand, barren likewise: this is the mystery of the desert. Many say that it is an animal, but this is not so, it is a thought, growing there where there is no earth and no seed: a thought which sprang from that which is eternally barren, and now assumes strange forms which life does not know. This is the reason that no one can describe this being, because it is like nothingness, indescribable.”
― Hanns Heinz Ewers, Alraune

“I know many lives worth living.”
― Mary Oliver
