| c0e712b | There were people who called themselves Satanists who made Crowley squirm. It wasn't just the things they did, it was the way they blamed it all on Hell. They'd come up with some stomach-churning idea that no demon could have thought of in a thousand years, some dark and mindless unpleasantness that only a fully-functioning human brain could conceive, then shout "The Devil Made Me Do It" and get the sympathy of the court when the whole poin.. | Terry Pratchett | ||

Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions.

| edde394 | And I find myself saying, "It wasn't really about her." And finding it's true. What do you mean?" Norah asks. It was about the feeling, you know?
