It's like in the Bible.You can't always get what you want, but if you really need something, you usually find it. What part of the Bible is that from? Ig asked her. The Gospel of Keith Richards?

I guess Satan was the first superhero [...] In his first adventure, he took the form of a snake to free two prisoners being held naked in a Third World jungle prison by an all-powerful megalomaniac. At the same time, he broadened their diet and introduced them to their own sexuality.

Terror is the desire to save your own ass, but horror is rooted in sympathy.

Horror was rooted in sympathy . . . in understanding what it would be like to suffer the worst.

I hope if there is another world, we will not be judged too harshly for the things we did wrong here—that we will at least be forgiven for the mistakes we made out of love.
