“The Truth is simple but the Way of Man is hard. First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes.”

“See the TURTLE of enourmous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made;
He sees the truth but mayn’t aid.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me.”
— The Wastelands

“Music soft and soothing as a waterfall… music that coaxed my unwilling soul back up into the light with its sweet, unspoken promise.

Trust me, follow me, let me show you the way to her side.

I believed in the music… I followed it without question.

And when I woke in the greyness of my tent with only Darius beside me, I wept at the cruelty of its fiendish deception.”
— Phantom

“Poor, unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? He asked only to be ‘someone,’ like everybody else. But he was too ugly! And he had to hide his genius or use it to play tricks with, when, with an ordinary face, he would have been one of the most distinguished of mankind! He had a heart that could have held the empire of the world; and, in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar.”
— The Phantom of the Opera

“The term ‘holistic’ refers to my conviction that what we are dealing with here is the fundamental interconnectedness of all things.”
