Thomas Ligotti Quotes

Isolation, Anchoring, Distraction, And Sublimation Are Among The Wiles We Use To Keep Ourselves From Dispelling Every Illusion That Keeps Us Up And Running. Without This Cognitive Double-dealing, We Would Be Exposed For What We Are. It Would Be Like Looking Into A Mirror And For A Moment Seeing The Skull Inside Our Skin Looking Back At Us With Its Sardonic Smile. And Beneath The Skull - Only Blackness, Nothing. Someone Is There, So We Feel, And Yet No One Is There - The Uncanny Paradox, All The Horror In A Glimpse. A Little Piece Of Our World Has Been Peeled Back, And Underneath Is Creaking Desolation - A Carnival Where All The Rides Are Moving But No Patrons Occupy The Seats. We Are Missing From The World We Have Made For Ourselves. Maybe If We Could Resolutely Gaze Wide-eyed At Our Lives We Would Come To Know What We Really Are. But That Would Stop The Showy Attraction We Are Inclined To Think Will Run Forever.8
