The Call of Cthulhu By H. P. Lovecraft

submitted by GrayDragon to books 2.5 yearsOct 26, 2021 10:02:12 ago (+16/-0)     (books)

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Fair assessment. He also just made up words (I was waiting for that, haha). Cheers!

E: I'd still rather read one of his stories than watch some jew knockoff.
