Quote by Jeff VanderMeer

“The way they always said eyewitness' accounts should be treated with suspicion, that the brain reconstructed what it couldn't remember - in other words, the brain lied. To itself and others. You couldn't trust a brain any more than you could trust a soul”

“Whenever I find someone putting all his trust in me; taking me around the darker corners of his inner-space, I have always felt that at that moment I am receiving the greatest compliment: “You are trusted.” But, how difficult it is to hold on to someone’s secret. Sometimes it becomes difficult but then that is the test. If you succumb and share the same with another then one thing is sure: Pleasure of being a trust worthy person will be lost. Mind will be committing a Sin of Heart. Soul would be absent in those dark moments.. Temptation will be greater when betraying someone would mean some material gain for you. But then, a part of your spirit would die. Getting trusted is a glowing tribute anyone can ever get. Let your spirit glow. Be trustworthy.”

“It’s often observed that individuals within the same family bear striking resemblances, passing down features such as the curve of a mouth or the hue of hair, even the warmth of a smile from one generation to the next. Curiously, though, mortals very rarely inherit the memories of their ancestors. This absence of memories makes it all too simple, at times, for one to overlook or disconnect from their heritage, as if the threads of lineage and legacy can be easily loosened by the passage of time. And the essence of one’s forgotten heritage continues to flow within each person’s veins like poison. Excerpt from The Book of Betrayal, Müneccimbaşı Sufi Chelebi’s Journals of Mystical Phenomena”
