Our Name Is Melancholy Quotes

“Don't even talk to me about "near death experiences". You want to be "near Death"? Stand before the assassin's blade, then tell me what you see. It won't be any ethereal tunnel full of warm, fuzzy light. You'll be dead, not in some funky hypnogogic state. What you see will be real, not the result of autonomic nor chemically induced psychosis, and infinitely more wondrous than any half-baked ego-conceptual delusion.”
― Leilah Wendell, Our Name Is Melancholy : The Complete Books of Azrael

“Go into the light, my children." Do yourself a favor, if you see any light, do not go into it unless you want to land back down here... or somewhere else encased in mud all over again. Turn from that light and walk into the shadows and soon enough your vision will grow accustomed to the dark until the darkness shines so beautifully that you can find your own way back Home.”
