The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All Quotes

“It's the roaring that makes you hear the stillness in your head louder. I imagine that when I die it's gonna be like that. There's gonna come a big, white sound, like spring rapids or avalanche, and it's gonna sweep me up into it, but it ain't gonna carry me away, no. No, it's gonna make me a part of it. In that moment, when I'm dying for good, I'm gonna be that white water. I'm gonna be that avalanche. Yes, I will. I know how it's going to be. Those last few moments I'm alive, I'm gonna dive down deep into that roaring and I'm gonna swim through until I find the stillness at the raging heart of it.”
