Criss Jami
“God judges men from the inside out; men judge men from the outside in.

It might be so that God will stand for the weak and question the strong.”
Criss Jami, Healology

It was ironic that the only way to keep one's sanity was to ignore that one was in an insane world or to act as if the world were sane.”
Philip José Farmer

“Stanley forced a smile to his lips at the memory of the onesided romance; it was silly, after all, a stupid childhood crush. Who’d fall in love with a fictional character? That was the kind of thing you laughed about as an adult. Or at least Harriet had thought so. He couldn’t quite do it, though. Couldn’t quite see it as a joke. It had felt too real, too raw and wild and fierce, for him to
dismiss it even now. It was love, of a sort, stunted and unformed as it was. For a time, it had kept him sane.”
Amelia Mangan, Release
