"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."
"The Call Of Cthulhu"
H.P. Lovecraft
1928
Awesome quote! I really need to read more Lovecraft.
Thanks. You can read all of his fiction (for free!) at hplovecraft.com.
PS The NECRONOMICON vid is hilarious.
