"Stories are for children and dreamers.
Poetry is for weaklings and madmen.
Epics glorify the vile and vilify the glorious.
Read minds, not words."
"Impossibility, probability, likelihood, and odds
When one is considering the killing of gods
As the recipe says, firstly, when making a pie
Create a new world, the old one must die
When fourteen have come, then comes the Insider
To stoke the hearth's flame, and thou, decider,
Can slaughter us all, cut our throats like mere swine,
And drink deep of the blood of that which was divine."
"Good Gods come and go, but
All Lords eventually fall
A God can wake up mortal."
"There's writing on the wall..."
"Those who have been required to memorize the world as it is will never create the world as it might be." - Judith Groch
"A bird does not sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song."

"The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth."
"In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth,
Man mastered the mammoth and horse; and Man was the Lord of the Earth.
He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree;
He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea.
He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team; and Man was the Lord of the Fire.
Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air.
Arise, O man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inherit,
Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his spirit."
"Rush in where angels fear to tread: the Gods are with you."
