Quotes
There is no such thing as Death; and Life is only a dream.
Fear is the great enemy, the only enemy.
Man's body is a machine, governed by the laws of matter.
The soul is not of matter; it is of spirit.
I had come to a place haunted by sorrow and despair.
Love is the great healer, the power that makes all things new.
In the night, when all was still, I heard whispers and laughter.
Time is a river, forever flowing.
In this place, reality and unreality meet and merge.
I beheld a vision of the end of all things.
There are gateways to other dimensions, hidden within the fabric of reality.
I was trapped in a world of cosmic horror.
