“Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.” (Alan Moore, Promethea, Vol. 5)
“In celebration of the myriad ghosts that are my mind, that are your mind, in all their supernatural glory.”
