Speculating Canada: Canadian Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy

Challenging the barriers of the way we define reality

Quote May 10, 2013 by dereknewmanstille

“All his actions were nothing more than the petty rebellions of a schoolboy, gestures of defiance to the brutal, relentless authority of reality.”

-Nancy Baker – A Terrible Beauty (Penguin Books, 1996)

Quote – Nothing but Defiance Against Reality
