Quotes[]
- This was the day that changed me. I had been the Circadian of the Church Fallen all my life. I was sustained. By faith alone, content to that. But the Father, our Lord, saw fit to remove entire the need for faith by replacing it with proof. He brought his heaven down to Earth, as we had always dreamed. And made it manifest for us to see and touch and taste and smell...
- -- Circadian
