“Cosa potevo farci se la mia mente bramava tutt’altro che il sangue e la gloria? Il mio sogno, coltivato tra le pagine di vecchi libri scovati al mercato, era l’arte dell’alchimia. Volevo l'erudizione necessaria a distinguere ogni erba, apprenderne le virtù nascoste e i poteri curativi; capire quali benefici fiorissero dalle miscele e quali veleni letali si nascondessero nei semi più insignificanti. Cose da studiosi; avrei dato tutto per accedere alle alte scuole di Montenero. E poi c’era la scrittura, una vena che sentivo scorrere, eredità di mamma.
Fantasticavo sul giorno in cui i miei studi sarebbero stati esposti con onore nelle biblioteche reali. Magari, un giorno, avrei scritto la storia della meravigliosa esistenza di Luke Lake, alchimista e sognatore.
In quel futuro, la parola “contadino” sarebbe rimasta solo un ricordo, un segreto da dimenticare.”

“Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply an admission of the obvious. In fact, 'atheism' is a term that should not even exist. No one needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist.' We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.”
