Madrigal Quotes

“There are steps to acceptance, the first being an awareness of one’s past. And though nothing can be brought back from it, through acceptance, the past can be transcended. Had I been the purveyor of such wisdom years ago I would not have lived sedated by an ethereal black pool of misbegotten desire. If I had known my past would be embraced, I would have been more aware of the possibility of a future. —Erik”

Or would you answer ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’? —Friedrich Nietzsche”
