Quote by S.T. Gibson

“I wasn't in the habit of confessing my sapphic proclivities as a sin, since I didn't consider them to be one, but my idolatry of Carmilla definitely counted as something worth confessing.”

“At the core of sin is hatred against God as our creator and lawgiver…. Sin rejects this relationship and replaces a humble, filial love with proud independence, so that natural love descends into the pit of self-deification. The image of God and the covenant with Adam engage man as God’s covenant servant according to the threefold office of prophet, priest, and king. Sin twists man into a false prophet who refuses to receive God’s Word by faith and speaks lies; an unholy priest who pollutes God’s worship and seeks after created idols; and a rebellious king who transgresses God’s law and incurs liability to his sovereign retribution.”

“Then I have a vague memory of something long and dark with red eyes, just as we saw in the sunset, and something very sweet and very bitter all around me at once; and then I seemed sinking into deep green water, and there was a singing in my ears, as I have heard there is to drowning men; and then everything seemed passing away from me; my soul seemed to go out from my body and float about the air. I seemed to remember that once the West Lighthouse was right under me, and then there was a sort of agonizing feeling, as if I were in an earthquake, and I came back and found you shaking my body. I saw you do it before I felt you.”
