Paradoxes explain everything. Since they do, they cannot be explained. - Gene Wolfe

Until we reach the end of time, we don’t know whether something’s been good or bad; we can only judge the intentions of those who acted.

We don't harm the gods when we mingle their names with our curses and obscenities. We harm ourselves. I said that I didn't regard most gods as holy, but they don't have to be for our malice and mockery to recoil upon ourselves.

The only actors who can really do justice to their parts are the ones who don't know what they are.
