Fear Quote by Robin LaFevers

“People fear Him [Death] - wrongly. They see punishment and starkness in Death, yet there is beauty as well. People are afraid of what they do not understand, and since they have abandoned the old ways, they no longer understand Death and His true place - His true purpose - in the world.” quote by Robin LaFevers — Download Open image
