The night that seemed endless hours before is now slipping from your fingers, ticking by as it falls into the past and pushes you toward the future.

Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

Hermetic quote Morgenstern Circus future

Consider also:

  1. “Get undressed and try this, it’s unbelievable.”
  2. “age-old ingredients of gothic drama and high tragedy: sex, violence, pride, fanaticism, and conspiracy.”
  3. “The library fell silent from its usual magical chatter as if all the books waited with bated breath to see”
  4. “It’s the learning fuckin’ nothing, Al, that keeps me young.”
  5. “Man has not only dissembled, deceived, made war without cause, given cause to those who dare not or could not defend their rights, and compelled his fellow to believe without evidence or intuition, but he has called the God whom he says delights in goodness and will punish all evil doers, to be a witness and a helper in his evil deeds.”
