Book cover for Anima Rising
How liberating it must be for you, a woman who can neither inherit nor own property, who need only find a husband and squirt out sons to assure the legacy of some other family to fulfill her destiny, while I, having received my estate, must ...more

Voltaire
“In the beginning God created man in His own image, and man has been trying to repay the favor ever since.”
Voltaire

Amelia B. Edwards
“The world,’ he said, ‘grows hourly more and more sceptical of all that lies beyond its own narrow radius; and our men of science foster the fatal tendency. They condemn as fable all that resists experiment. They reject as false all that cannot be brought to the test of the laboratory or the dissecting-room. Against what superstition have they waged so long and obstinate a war, as against the belief of apparitions? And yet what superstition has maintained its hold upon the minds of men so long and so firmly? Show me any fact in physics, in history, in archaeology, which is supported by testimony so wide and so various. Attested by all races of men, in all ages, and in all climates, by the soberest sages of antiquity, by the rudest savage of today, by the Christian, the Pagan, the Pantheist, the Materialist, this phenomenon is treated as a nursery tale by the philosophers of our century. Circumstantial evidence weighs with them as a feather in the balance. The comparison of causes with effects, however valuable in physical science, is put aside as worthless and unreliable. The evidence of competent witnesses, however conclusive in a court of justice, counts for nothing. He who pauses before he pronounces is condemned as a trifler. He who believes, is a dreamer or a fool.”
Amelia B. Edwards, The Phantom Coach: Collected Ghost Stories

H.G. Wells
“Our species may yet end its strange eventful history as just the last, the cleverest of the great apes. The great ape that was clever—but not clever enough. It could escape from most things but not from its own mental confusion.”
H.G. Wells

Henri Michaux
“There is not one self. There are not ten selves. There is no self. ME is only a position in equilibrium. (One among a thousand others, continually possible and always at the ready.) An average of “me’s,” a movement in the crowd. In the name of many, I sign this book.”
Henri Michaux

Aldous Huxley
“[...]But wouldn't you like to be free to be happy in some other way? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else's way.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
