“It was not enough that food aplenty was within Man’s grasp: he wanted more.It was not enough that prey surrendered themselves to Man according to the natural order: Man wanted to cook his prey. Man had discovered fire when lightning stuck and set a tree or two alight, but he was clumsy and greedy and stupid and could not keep the flame alive”
David Bowles“Shadows and light deceived us, but sounds we followed true.”
David Bowles, The Deepest Green“When wounds are healed by love,The scars are beautiful.”
David Bowles, Shattering and Bricolage“Maybe I'm deceiving myself. Perhaps I don't know him as well as I'd like to imagine. What does a person so willing to utterly remake himself hold inside his heart? Can I trust such a man? What motivates him?In an instant she knew, and she felt a bit of relief.Love. Love was what drove him.”
David Bowles, The Deepest Green“I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.”
David Bowles, The Blue-Spangled Blue“It was not enough that food aplenty was within Man’s grasp: he wanted more.It was not enough that prey surrendered themselves to Man according to the natural order: Man wanted to cook his prey.
