”On the surface, they can still exercise their iniquitous laws, fight, devour each other, and indulge in all their earthly horrors. But thirty feet below the (sea’s) surface, their power ceases, their influence fades, and their dominion vanishes. Ah, monsieur, to live in the bosom of the sea! There I recognise no master! There I am free!”
—Captain Nemo, in Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

"When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe."
— Vera Nazarian (via julie911)

Nuestra Senora del Pilar Church in Sibonga, Cebu, Philippines. We decided to make the most of what was otherwise just a quiet, sweltering Black Saturday and drove south. Randomly found this church by the side of the road and was fascinated by all the history and detail.
“The biggest contradictions in Philippine culture are often found in and around our churches: Pagan icons dressed in European robes; trompe l’oeil ceilings done by Asian artisans; black candles, voodoo icons and abortifacients peddled right across the very pulpits that declare them evil and heretical; confessions administered by the grievously sinful; dance and prayer rituals that combine native beliefs with colonial doctrine. Far from rejecting or judging these contradictions, I believe we should embrace them—understand them for what they are and what they have made us to be. We need to celebrate our marvelously flawed story. The saddest thing would be for us to forget.” -Michelle Varron (On Churches and their Contradictions)
