Prompts for 9/27-10/3
Quotes:
1. "Something was badly amiss inside the spiritual life of the planet. ...Too many demons inside people claiming to believe in God."
-Salman Rushdie
2. "Tempt not a desperate man."
-William Shakespeare
3. "Nobody can judge an internal injury by the size of the superficial wound, of the hole."
-Salman Rushdie
4. "We've established a cause. We can scan these people and was know what we're looking for Brain chemistry alteration. Cell damage. It's all very clear and scientific now. But I can't help thinking...if such things existed. If we stood in the presence of a real angel. Who's to say that wouldn't cause exactly the same physical damage?"
-- Miranda Zero
5. "Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story."
-Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
6. "The very constitution of twilight is a fabulous reconstruction of fear, fear bottom-out and wrong side up. Every day is thought upon and calculated, but the night is not premeditated."
-- Nightwood, Djuna Barnes.
7. "Let the devils burn and the angels fall. Let every one of them be crucified as they deserved to be, as every god deserves to be."
--Vellum by Hal Duncan.
8. "You damned her to hell the day you taught her that gods were real. And when the desolate ones have gathered her into their arms -- because that is the choice she's made -- she'll probably thank you for it as she rips out your heart."
--Vellum by Hal Duncan.
9. "A consensus reality can't work without a consensus."
--Vellum by Hal Duncan
10. "Pain is savage. It grabs us and throws us against the wall. We have to lay where it throws us down. It declares itself supreme autocrat. It is ruthless. It holds us so that we may not look away, and it does not respond to pleas that it subside. If it subsides, that is its prerogative. When it insists, it is without mercy.
It is the most undeniable form of god."
-- Marilyn Krysl
