“Those who pray for your downfall are concentrating negative thoughts towards you, without taking cognisance of the slippery ground in which they are standing, which could lead to their downfall.”

“They want us to be afraid.
They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.
They want us to barricade our doors
and hide our children.
Their aim is to make us fear life itself!
They want us to hate.
They want us to hate 'the other'.
They want us to practice aggression
and perfect antagonism.
Their aim is to divide us all!
They want us to be inhuman.
They want us to throw out our kindness.
They want us to bury our love
and burn our hope.
Their aim is to take all our light!
They think their bricked walls
will separate us.
They think their damned bombs
will defeat us.
They are so ignorant they don鈥檛 understand
that my soul and your soul are old friends.
They are so ignorant they don鈥檛 understand
that when they cut you I bleed.
They are so ignorant they don鈥檛 understand
that we will never be afraid,
we will never hate
and we will never be silent
for life is ours!”

“Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way? Or is it, that as in essence whiteness is not so much a color as the visible absence of color; and at the same time the concrete of all colors; is it for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snows- a colorless, all-color of atheism from which we shrink? And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues 鈥� every stately or lovely emblazoning 鈥� the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues, the great principle of light, for ever remains white or colorless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge 鈥� pondering all this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper; and like wilful travellers in Lapland, who refuse to wear colored and coloring glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes himself blind at the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him. And of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol. Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?”

“[W]hat makes patriotic and religious fanatics such dangerous opponents is not the deaths of the fanatics themselves, but their willingness to accept the deaths of a fraction of their number in order to annihilate or crush their infidel enemy.”

“Total knowledge is annihilation
Of the desire to see, to touch, to feel
The world sensed only through senses
And immune to the knowledge without feeling.”

“I couldn't stop being afraid of myself. Afraid of the monster I saw when I glimpsed my reflection in still pools, in windows...
But all I am is magic. Unmagic.
I am nothing. I am what is beyond nothing. Annihilation.
I am the unraveler. I can pull apart magic with a thought.”

“Here too was the terrifying fixed curve of the infinite, the creeping curve of logic which at least must become the final signpost at the edge of nothing. After that - the deluge. The great white light of annihilation. The bright flash of death... ("Mr. Arcularis")”

“Equivocamos esa paz con la muerte
y creemos anhelar nuestro fin
y anhelamos el sueno y la indiferencia.
(We mistake peace for death
and we believe we long for our end
when what we long for is sleep and indifference.)”

“What is the therapeutic path? Is there one? How can we remedy a wound the size of existence? Of course, total recall鈥� ecphoric excavation to the point of obsidian and diamantine repose鈥攊s the only therapeutic route. When presented with an infection such as a brain, eudemonia and euthanasia converge.”

“There was nothing in Nesta's head but screaming. Nothing in her heart but love and hatred and fury as she let go of everything inside her and the entire world exploded.
The baying of her magic was a beast with no name. Avalanches cascaded down the cliffs in seas of glittering white. Trees bent and ruptured in the wake of the power that shattered from her. Distant seas drew back from their shores, then raced in waves toward them again. Glasses shook and shattered in Velaris, books tumbled off the shelves in Helion's thousand libraries, and the remnants of a run-down cottage in the human lands crumbled into a pile of rubble.
But all Nesta saw was Briallyn. All she saw was the slack-jawed crone as Nesta leaped upon her, throwing her frail body to the rocky ground. All she knew was screaming as she clutched Briallyn's face, the Crown glowing blindingly white, and roared her fury to the mountains, to the stars, to the dark places between them.
Gnarled hands turned young. A lined face became beautiful and lovely. White hair darkened to raven black.
But Nesta bellowed and bellowed, letting her magic rage, unleashing every ember. Erasing the queen beneath her from existence.
The young hands turned to ash. The pretty face dissolved into nothing. The dark hair withered into dust.
Until all that was left of the queen was the Crown on the ground.”

“To an ego, being ignored is equivalent to annihilation. To not exist is any ego鈥檚 greatest fear. It is a warranted fear because the ego does, in fact, get annihilated in proportion to the growth of one鈥檚 spiritual realisation. However, the rewards of spiritual development so outshine the feeble offerings of the ego that it is an insignificant price to pay. Does one begrudge paying a small price for something invaluable?”

“She came near to me and whispered some good words. And if that wasn鈥檛 a dream, that is, of course, a threat of massive annihilation. They are back and thoughts re-started to go over the edges of reality again.”

“Allah does not always open Its Jamal. The Murid's assignment is to unite the Jalal and the Jamal. These two are projected from, and absorbed back into, the black nothingness called Allah's Kamal - a state of invisible, neuter, annihilation. Jalal is Allah's power, force and strength. It often manifests as trials and tests for the Murid. Jamal is Allah's sweetness, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. Kamal is the whispered breath of nonexistence.”

“Samara shook her head and noticed that the room seemed unusually quiet. Everyone had returned to their seats at the table and were staring at her. And their expressions weren鈥檛 hard to figure out. They feared her and the daunting power she possessed, but more than anything else, they feared what she could do to them.”

“Hecate set her jaw straight and looked down at the demon. 鈥淩ot in Hell,鈥� she growled. The demon smirked. "I鈥檓 already here and so are you. But I won鈥檛 be the one rotting.鈥� He jabbed the tip of his blade into Hecate鈥檚 middle, earning a painful moan. 鈥淪mite is my name and you best not forget it. My offer stands but you won鈥檛 be able to... unless you agree.”

“Nonbeing provides the 鈥渁ir鈥� to the Being to spread its wings and fly 鈥渢hrough鈥� nothingness. The finitude of the Being is the source of its infinity through the Nonbeing. This infinity is not measurable because it is not possible in any particular life or any particular circle, but in the infinite number of lives and cycles of the same thing, living the life of constant change, constant annihilation, and rebirths, ad infinitum, through and by the infinite number of variations of the same finite and omnipotent Being.”
