The Quatermass Experiment (BBC, 1953)
"One morning, two hours after dawn, the first manned rocket in the history of the world takes off from the Tarooma range, Australia. The three observers see on their scanning screens a quickly receding Earth. The rocket is guided from the ground by remote control as they rise through the ozone layer, the stratosphere, the ionosphere, beyond the air. They are to reach a height of 1,500 miles above the Earth and there learn...what is to be learnt.
For an experiment is an operation designed to discover some unknown truth. It is also a risk..."

Rain announced itself in soft pits on the window. I look up as if shyly addressed. I still have intimations of the planet's aliveness, occasionally, until my educated self steps in and in a moment quietly re-murders the world.
— Glen Duncan, from The Bloodstone Papers

Tell me again why I should like guys my own age? (I'm 21). And tell me again why I should stick with American guys? 4 are Scandinavian, 3 are Brits, and one is Canadian.

“Enough religion remained so that I went into and out of the belief that this was a punishment, superficially for carnal excess but really for living in a love that rendered God negligible, optional, obsolete. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yahweh’s First Commandment and one he wasn’t shy of fleshing out—Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: For I the LORD thy God am a jealous God … He had every right to be jealous of Arabella. It wasn’t the fucking, the licking, the sucking, but that with her these acts livened the soul instead of deadening it, elevated being instead of degrading it. Lest ye become as gods yourselves. The serpent’s reading of the Edenic proscription was correct. We were our own divine images, not graven but flesh and blood, and God shrank in the light of our divinity. Christ was born of a virgin and died one himself. What did he know? The truths of the body were ours, not his. Human love didn’t eradicate God, but it put Him into His proper distant second.”
- Glen Duncan, The Last Werewolf
