  • Quote

    A belief which is based on force of habit is one of the saddest and most harmful phenomena of our time-as in the shade of a stone wall everything new grows slowly, becoming stunted, lacking the sap of life.

And the light emanating from that faith was nothing but the phosphorescent glow of putrefaction.
