Quotes by John Leake (?)

“PIEŚŃ MIŁOSNA DLA ŚMIERCI

Przychodzisz do mnie znów,
Nie zapominasz o mnie.
Do końca trwa agonia,
Aż pękną me okowy.

Wciąż się pojawiasz obca i daleka
Jesteś żywa, Śmierci.
Stoisz jak zimna gwiazda
Nad moją rozpaczą.
Lecz potem się przybliżasz, cała w płomieniach.
Przyjdź, kochanko, jestem tu.
Zabierz mnie, jestem twój.”
― John Leake, Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer

“The way men live is so far removed from the way they ought to live that anyone who abandons what is for what should be pursues his downfall rather than his preservation.”
― John Leake, Cold a Long Time

“I always like to say: If we had surveyed two years ago the public, “Would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?” we probably would have had a 95% refusal rate. I think this pandemic has opened many people’s eye to this innovation.[236]”
