“Twórczość rządzi się własnymi prawami. - Norma Cena, niepublikowane notatki laboratoryjne”
Brian Herbert, Kevin Anderson

Christopher Ruocchio
“Evil occurs because we are insufficient to challenge it. Too weak to stop it at the gates, too blind to see it bubbling within. Were we all angels in our virtue and heroes in our capacity, we might hold all chaos at bay, might stop even the unkindling of the stars. Yet we are but men.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Ashes of Man
