About Me

What's next?
Defining quotes:
On his deathbed, our famed author clutched the arm of his priest -- who was giving him his last rites, at that point where the priest asked that he renounce Satan -- and said to the Kind Father:
"Here, here, my good man...now is not the time for making enemies!"
"I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it."
-- (both the above quotes, allegedly from Voltaire)
and
"There came to him an image of man's whole life upon the earth. It seemed to him that all man's life was like a tiny spurt of flame that blazed out briefly in an illimitable and terrifying darkness, and that all man's grandeur, tragic dignity, his heroic glory, came from the brevity and smallness of this flame. He knew that his life was little and would be extinguished, and that only darkness was immense and everlasting. And he knew that he would die with defiance on his lips, and that the shout of his denial would ring with the last pulsing of his heart into the maw of all-engulfing night."
--Wolfe
