Quote du Jour: At the Brink

X
To live at the edge of death and of the stars is a vibration too tense for our veins to endure. There isn't even the child of a star and a woman as a compassionate intermediary. The heart must present itself alone before nothingness, and alone it must beat loud in the darkness.
XXXX~ Clarice Lispector, Soulstorm, "Silence" (tr. Alexis Levitin)

If you can write like that, you don't need to go to church.
