“In the seventeenth century it was fashionable to regard the universe as a gigantic machine that had been set in motion by God. Even today, many people like to believe in God’s role as a Prime Mover or First Cause in a cosmic chain of causation. But what does it mean for a God who is outside of time to cause anything? Because of this difficulty, believers in a timeless God prefer to emphasize his role in upholding and sustaining the creation at every moment of its existence. No distinction is drawn between creation and preservation: both are, to God’s timeless eyes, one and the same action.”

“In the sex-war, thoughtlessness is a weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. Both are reciprocally generated, but a woman's desire for revenge outlasts all other emotion. Yet when every unkind word about women has been said, we have still to admit, with Byron, that they are nicer than men. They are more devoted, more unselfish and more emotionally sincere.

my dearests, lies a deeper tale,

“In the shadows, a glass slipper shimmered on her foot. She bent to pick it up.
Strange, that everything should disappear except her glass slipper.
She hugged it to her chest. Before this night, she hadn't thought magic would ever touch her life. None of this would have been possible without her fairy godmother.
She gazed at the stars twinkling above her. Somehow, she knew her godmother was listening. "Thank you so much... for everything."
Carefully, she tucked her glass slipper into her pocket. At least she would have it to remind her of what a beautiful night it had been.
Her fairy godmother's spell had been broken. Tomorrow, everything would go back to the way it was before. Her stepmother would go back to ordering her around the chateau, her stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella, to tormenting her over every one of their needs, but she'd caught a glimpse of happiness, something she hadn't felt in many years.
Her eyes had opened to the possibility of leaving home, of dreaming dreams that might actually come true. But she wasn't brave enough to chase them- not yet. Not so soon, anyway, after such a magnificent night.
What she didn't realize was- she might not have a choice.”

“In the shadows of the night,
A hare with crown of thorns in sight,
With eyes that gleam with wicked might,
And fur as black as darkest night.
Its presence brings a hush of fear,
For in its wake, destruction's near,
Its very breath, a threat severe,
A harbinger of doom and fear.
Oh, how it revels in its power,
This beast that comes in darkest hour,
With every step, it makes us cower,
As we succumb to its demonic power.
Its crown of thorns, a symbol of pain,
A sign of suffering, of loss and gain,
A testament to its unholy reign,
A ruler of darkness, a leader of the insane.
We bow before this wicked hare,
As it leads us into a world of despair,
A world where evil reigns supreme,
And nothing is as it seems.
So let us revel in this darkness,
And embrace the hare's demonic starkness,
For in its wake, we find our bliss,
And all that's good is swallowed by the abyss.”

Where darkness casts its heavy stone.

Light never guarantees love.”

Halloween is a good horror film because we love Jamie Lee Curtis, we're brought very deeply in right when she's babysitting the kids. She's going from house to house, all those houses have windows that you can look in. We're a very vulnerable and exposed audience.”
