Summary

This quote, often attributed to singer Darlene Love, challenges the values and beliefs of a society. It criticizes a society that seemingly places more importance and belief in the existence and immortality of a celebrity like Elvis Presley than in the concept of a higher power or belief in God. It sheds light on the potential absurdity of a society that prioritizes and idolizes popular culture figures while dismissively declaring the demise of spiritual or religious beliefs. The quote aims to provoke thought and question the values and priorities of such a society.

I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.

One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - water stained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment. It may be colder than the other gravestones, too, and the name on the stone is all too often impossible to read. If there is a statue on the grave it will be headless or so scabbed with fungus and lichens as to look like fungus itself. If one grave in a graveyard looks like a target for petty vandals, that is the ghoul-gate. If the grave wants to make you be somewhere else, that is the ghoul-gate.
