Quotes by Julian May  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You have always been alone, always self-centered and fearful of opening yourself to other persons, for to do so is to risk rejection and pain. But it is a risk we are born to take, we humans. We cannot live alone, cannot find happiness or peace alone, cannot love alone. The person alone must always be fleeing, always searching. He flees from the loneliness without end. He searches, whether he will or not, for another who will fill his emptiness.”
Julian May, The Many-Coloured Land

“Only those who are bereaved of all joy in this present world may take refuge in the shadows of the past.”
Julian May, The Many-Coloured Land

“They say nothing!" the little captain raged. "They only putrid gunner, ship engineer. I, Ba-Karkar, must speak for all!"

Ogu kicked him again. "Then ask what kind help Asahel wants, untranslatable epithet male. Or no more untranslatable for you! Never again in putrid boomer prison."

Her husband gave a choked gasp. "Cruel female!"

"No more sex, either," she added.”
Julian May, Orion Arm
