Enjoy my fics, and take a look at my favorite stories and authors if you're so inclined.

"I never said it wouldn't hurt you. I said it wouldn't kill you." C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce.

"Can one study a piece of clockwork without thinking of the adjoining piece? Can one study a bodily organ without considering the body? If you want to have a mind that is open, clear, really strong, mistrust your specialty...Any branch of knowledge, cultivated by itself, not only does not suffice for itself, but presents dangers that all men of sense recognize. Mathematics by themselves warp the judgment, accustoming it to a rigor that no other science admits of, still less real life. Physics, chemistry obsess you by their complexity and give no breadth to the mind. Physiology leads to materialism, astronomy to vague speculation; geology turns you into a nosing hound; literature makes you hollow; philosophy inflates you; theology hands you over to false sublimity and magisterial pride. You must pass from one spirit to the other so as to correct one by the other; you must cross your crops in order not to ruin the soil." Sertillanges, O.P.'s The Intellectual Life.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart." Stephen King's The Wastelands.
