"Buffy is my favorite show of all time. It’s my comfort show that I will rewatch episodes of every year. Currently, I’m in the middle of a full series rewatch. And it didn’t occur to me til I was already in the middle of watching season six that I should have been reading this along with every episode. So now I’m playing catch up. And it’s going to take a while… lol. Still reading season one here." — Aug 24, 2026 12:00PM

“They received food from the monks at the churches they visited, and when they drank the blood-red wine and broke off the golden crust from the bread made of wheat, all four priests from the barley lands understood why Christ had honored wine and wheat, which were purer than all other foodstuffs that God had given humankind, by manifesting himself in their likeness during the holy communion.”
― Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter

“Christ, you who were crucified! Now I have given up everything that could bind me. And I have placed myself in your hands, if you would find my life worthy enough to be freed from its servitude to Satan. Take me so that I may feel that I am your slave, for then I will possess you in return.”
― Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter

“His heart sang in his breast; his soul felt like a bride in the arms of the bridegroom. He realized full well that this would not last. No man could live on earth in this manner for long. And he had received each hour of that bright springtime like a pledge—a merciful promise that would strengthen his endurance when the skies darkened over him and the road led down into a dark ravine, through roaring rivers and cold snowdrifts.”
― Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter
