“The best literature is both accessible to the sensibilities of men in all walks of life, and elevated so that every soul, no matter how high, may be taught to reach even further towards those timeless eternals: Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.”A dream I had, that once was mine, of dashing myself to pieces upon your lines, of splintering timbers and shattering stones, of breaking bones and toppling thrones.

Past grave markers, past earthen mounds, and finally, past barrows that marked the tombs of heathen kings, the shaking tread of her, the unearthly dead, fled life and death alike in unhappy strife, until at last cross and mound be past and into Earth Actual, ghost materialized again in living flesh. Flitting and flighted, her tremulous toe alighted on hardened black and slapped back frigid reality.” -Jon Roberts The House that Hell Built“Other than directly living in another man’s shoes, our only tool to explore the human condition is literature. Therefore, let us make make stories about people and for people.”“Literature is the only tool by which man may fully peer into the depths of the human condition, which makes it an author’s job to get out of the way as much as possible so that the reader may get as clear a picture as possible.”Sing, we, oh dark comp’ny, Dance, we, blackwood and iron, In Luna’s light bright heaven see. Arm-in-arm, black. Night—union. Purest snow to earth ebony, Light might float! But descent promote. Toe touch not thy soul to Eden’s entropy, Till oak doth wilt and lamp go out. Till oak doth wilt, and all lamps go out.
