The most modern European is you Pope Pius X

And you whom the windows observe shame keeps you

There are the 25 centime serials full of murder mysteries

Portraits of great men and a thousand different headlines

“The intentions are not born, they are seeds planted by mentors during one's youth, and it is watered by them periodically until it sprouts into a hideous flower, and only learns to grow until someone rips the root from the mind.鈥� (psychologist)

They need to feel something, whether it be guilt or exhilaration. Though identifying a passion has trials, it鈥檚 common for criminals to experiment before they stick with a system of how to commit the crime.鈥�

Ian Tuason
“I had the choice鈥擨 could once again pretend and recite the words that would turn me into a powerful king. I could recite the words to abolish the prison of my emptiness, to become young and immortal, to feel the lips of a queen on my lips, and to fall in love with Juliet day after day.

Abhijit Naskar
“I'm a sucker for mystery stories,
I've been since my adolescent days.
But I never picked up a novel in my life
My world of fiction lives in radio plays.

Never have I had the patience to sit
through hours of fiction reading.
So I dig up classic radio dramas,
to keep me company while writing.

Nevertheless, fiction does matter,
One way or another fiction matters.
Naskarean universe is non-fiction,
Yet I say, fiction indeed matters.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee
