thestrangedoctor welcomes you

Keep your cup empty

Fear not the lack of knowledge

Fear thy acceptance of ignorance

A life in darkness is for those who don’t go out in search for light/wisdom

Truth is it’s everywhere, in every one of us

Just be a sponge and imbibe

Imbibe as much as possible until your last breath
