The Occult of the Unborn Quotes

“Those who have been pulled out of the calm tranquility of the void and trapped for life to a bodily existence have a single consolation: everything that lives, also dies.

Their meaning is prescribed by the religions to which they subscribe, or one of the secular worldviews they choose for themselves...
