T here is a silence in the modern world. It is not a lack of noise—there is plenty of that—but a lack of depth. We are constantly swimming in the shallows of information, rarely diving into the deep waters of wisdom.
I built The Silent Quill not just as an archive, but as a sanctuary.
Reading is not merely a pastime; it is an act of telepathy. It is the only way to inhabit another mind, to see the world through eyes that may have closed centuries ago. When we read Poe, we touch his madness. When we read Bakker, we confront his darkness.
In these archives, the ink never dries. The voices of the past are still speaking, waiting for someone to listen. This collection is a testament to the books that refused to let me go.
We read to know we are not alone. We read to understand the darkness, so that it does not consume us.
