John Trudell on Writing and Individual Lines
“I don’t write as much now as I used to, but I write. The lines still come, maybe periodically, and I’ll go through these little bursts of time where I write a lot of things then a long period of time where maybe I don’t write anything. Or these lines will come into my head and I’ll write ’em down in a little book, just little sets of lines, but I won’t try to make stories or poems out of them. I’m doing a lot of that now, just the lines.”
John Trudell

Quote by H. P. Lovecraft about Darkness and Cosmic Horror
“Children will always be afraid of the dark, and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse will always tremble at the thought of the hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars, or press hideously upon our own globe in unholy dimensions which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.”
H. P. Lovecraft
