Quotable
Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.
-- The Sandman by Neil Gaiman
"And the Bastard grant us, in our direst need, the smallest gifts: the nail of the horseshoe, the pin of the axle, the feather at the pivot point, the pebble at the mountain's peak, the kiss in despair, the one right word. In darkness, understanding."
-- Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold
I would be your disciple
And I'd worship you
Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you
-- "Absolution", Gary Numan
There is no way to suppress change...not even in heaven; there is only a choice between a way of living which allows constant, if gradual alterations and a way of living that combines great control and cataclysmic upheavals. Those who panic and bind the trickster choose the latter path. It would be better to learn to play with him, better especially to develop skills (cultural, spiritual, artistic) that allow some commerce with accident, and some acceptance of the changes that contingency will always engender.
-- Lewis Hyde, Trickster Makes This World
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

He had me dance on this
I think it captures His story perfectly, even though I have no idea what she’s singing
I’ve never bothered to look for a translation of the lyrics because the song itself is so evocative.
