Reggie Oliver QUOTES

1 " Darkness is a strange thing — it is both infinite and confining; it holds you tight in its grasp, but it holds you suspended in a void. Silence operates in a similar way. Slowly the two combine to become a threat.

("Come Into My Parlour") "

― Reggie Oliver

2 " Of course,' he said, 'it is possible to be haunted by the living as by the dead. "

― Reggie Oliver , A Maze for the Minotaur

3 " There are some people who belong to the land of the dead and some who belong to the land of the living. And there are some who stand between the two, keeping open the door. These are the artists, dreamers, philosophers and mystics. They are strange people who tell of strange things. We must be patient with them. I myself, in my humble way, stand between these two worlds. I make the pastries. I wait. We all have our roles, as I believe you do. "

― Reggie Oliver , Flowers of the Sea

4 " But surely,’ I said at last, ‘Love is stronger than Death?’ ‘We must believe so, Martin, even when it appears to be untrue. "

― Reggie Oliver , The Ballet of Dr Caligari and Madder Mysteries
