Quote by Jane Porter

“Whilst he sat by his bed, ministering to him with the care of a son, he dwelt with melancholy delight on his revered features, and listened to his languid voice with those tender associations which are dear to the heart, though they pierce it with regretful anguish.”

“I was scooped up against his chest, my legs dangling from the ground as though I was a child. “Do you ever wear clothes, doll?” I shrugged. “Siret always makes them so tight that it’s much more comfortable this way.” “Clever Siret.” I heard him murmur, but before I could say anything else, he did his flashing thing and everything went dark.”

“The religionist is a living fossil, embedded in that rock called faith.”

“Viewed in this light, life itself appears as a dynamics of integration that is equipped with auto-therapeutic or 'endo-clinical' competencies and refers to a species-specific space of surprise. It has an equally innate and - in higher organisms - adaptively acquired responsibility for the injuries and invasions it regularly encounters in its permanently allocated environment or conquered surroundings. Such immune systems could equally be described as organismic early forms of a feeling for transcendence: thanks to the efficiency of these devices, which are constantly at the ready, the organism actively confronts the potential bringers of its death, opposing them with its endogenous capacity to overcome the lethal. Such functions have earned immune systems of this type comparisons to a 'body police' or border patrol. But as the concern, already at this level, is to work out a modus vivendi with foreign and invisible powers - and, in so far as these can bring death, 'higher' and 'supernatural' ones - this is a preliminary stage to the behaviour one is accustomed to terming religious or spiritual in human contexts. For every organism, its environment is its transcendence, and the more abstract and unknown the danger from that environment, the more transcendent it appears.”
