Sarah Monette, The Tempering of Men“The ritual worked. That is the most ghastly thing. I hold no particular brief for the rationality of the world, but that this vile obscenity should actually have the power to bring back the dead seems to me not merely a sign that the world is not rational, but that it is in fact entirely insane, a murderous lunatic gibbering in the corner of a padded cell.”
Sarah Monette, The Bone Key: The Necromantic Mysteries of Kyle Murchison Booth“I gave up on cussing - I'd run out of words filthy enough - and just started praying.”
Sarah Monette, The Virtu“The dead person is not truly dead until the last person who rememebers them dies.”
Sarah Monette, The Mirador“Tears are part of the leeway of the common areas of a hospital, since so many have to do their crying away from the patient's bed. You don't care who sees you cry in the lobby: it was port of entry for all the sorrows, and one gave up all one's previous citizenship at the border.”

Paul Monette, Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story“The imagination was the only country where a man could truly breathe free.”
Paul Monette, Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story“Gnosticism is undeniably pre-Christian, with both Jewish and gentile roots. The wisdom of Solomon already contained Gnostic elements and prototypes for the Jesus of the Gospels...God stops being the Lord of righteous deed and becomes the Good One...A clear pre-Christian Gnosticism can be distilled from the epistles of Paul. Paul is recklessly misunderstood by those who try to read anything Historical Jesus-ish into it. The conversion of Paul in the Acts of the Apostles is a mere forgery from various Tanakh passages... [The epistles] are from Christian mystics of the middle of the second century. Paul is thus the strongest witness against the Historical Jesus hypothesis...John's Gnostic origin is more evident than that of the synoptics. Its acceptance proves that even the Church wasn't concerned with historical facts at all.”
Arthur Drews“Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.Linus Pauling”
Linus Pauling“I'm Brian a lot more than I'm Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, 'Hey Paul Walker!' my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It's uncomfortable. But when I hear, 'It's Brian!' it's cool. I like Brian.”
