SE IX

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age." —H.P. Lovecraft

"Indeed, the human mind appears to suffer from a crippling need to fabricate in the absence of concrete proof." —J.R. Ward, Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8)
