Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The accumulated weight of untold centuries carried forward on the shoulders and in the stories of the hundreds of millions of people who lived those centuries is massive. And should any historical revisionist attempt to author an alternative version, their pen is certain to snap under such a weight. And ultimately, so will their reputation.”

Muriel put gum in David's book and I had a cold, and my parents were fighting right up until the flash went off. And in the photo, we all look so . . . happy. I remember seeing that picture and realizing that photographs weren't real. There's no context, just the illusion that you're showing a snapshot of a life, but life isn't snapshots, it's fluid. So photos are like fictions. I loved that about them. Everyone thinks photography is truth, but it's just a very convincing lie.”

“Consider this then a warning. Liars will lie, and continue to do so, even beyond being caught out. They will lie, and in time, such liars will convince themselves, will in all self-righteousness divest the liars of culpability. Until comes a time when one final lie is voiced, the one that can only be answered by rage, by cold murder, and on that day, blood shall rain down every wall of this vaunted, weaning society.”
