“Orion's Question and the Breath of Frost' . . Tonight, the horizon folds into itself, an old envelope sealed with frost. The earth leans ever so slightly, tilting its tired shoulder toward the sun as if apologizing for the distance. Above, Cassiopeia sprawls, half-reclining, her jeweled wrists dripping with the cold light of stars that have died a thousand times since we first gave them names. Her gaze cuts through the dark, dismissive and haunted all at once... What does she know that I do not!? I stood beneath the canopy of brittle air, the breath of a wind too muffled to matter pressing against my ear. The quietude of the season lodged itself deep, threading through marrow and thought alike. Somewhere distant, the faint call of an owl spilled across the night, shearing the imperturbable, and I realized this lull was not still, not empty. It swelled, pressed, expanded... an ache without center, scattering itself like seeds into the pit of me. For a moment, I thought I heard it... a hum, soft and glacial, as if the world itself were breathing from a great, aching hollow. I looked up and imagined Orion not as hunter but witness, the burning points of his form arranged into questions I could never answer. When I turned back toward the house, frost had etched a secret on the windowpane, its meaning almost within reach but blurred, as though by a single trembling hand.”

“Humans believe they serve some great purpose on the earth; they do not. They believe because they created things like the light bulb or cars, that it makes them great. It only serves to make their life comfortable and appear to fit into the grand scheme of things. We are not born with special abilities like flight, tusks, or leaping capabilities like many of nature's animals. We trick ourselves into thinking we are special but we only take and never give. We are an anomaly that evolved from the crustacean that we now eat for pleasure. We are essentially eating our own. An animal that secretes serotonin, just as we do. It feels just like we do. The best thing that can happen to the human race is that it dies off and we leave the earth be.”

“Esse arcabouço de ferozes raciocínios seria absolutamente absurdo? Faltaria a ele uma certa ponderação? É preciso que se diga: não. Dá medo pensar que essa coisa que temos em nós, o discernimento, não é a justiça. O discernimento é o relativo. A justiça é o absoluto. Pensem na diferença entre um juiz e um justo Os maus comandam a consciência com autoridade. Há uma ginástica da falsidade. Um sofista é um falsário, e quando a oportunidade se apresenta esse falsário brutaliza o bom senso. Certa lógica muito maleável, muito implacável e muito ágil está a serviço do mal e prima em afogar a verdade na obscuridade. Sinistros socos de Satã em Deus”
