Keepers of the Dawn Quotes

“The world is filled with people and with beasts. Some are one, some the other. —Jarah-Och-Whum, ninth-century Imaryian bard”
― Herb J. Smith II, Keepers of the Dawn

“In an enigmatic world of indeterminate purpose and intent, it is not always possible to divide a thing into that which is right and that which is wrong. In such times, when reason flees, when faith lends no comfort, when teaching, custom, and convention all fail, one must turn inside to that indefinable place that best negotiates the world. There one shall find not that which is right and that which is wrong, but rather that which is fitting. For it is upon this foundation, and no other, that the great works of the world are built.
—First Coxian Book of Truth, the Apocrypha”

“Like dust borne on the breeze, we glide carefree whirling and swirling through our lives, wafting lightly upon lilting updrafts or racing wildly astride capricious gusts until, captured within the prevailing trades of logic, convention, and creed, we find ourselves trapped, circling aimlessly in perpetual flow, yearning with wistful dread for some violent tempest to come wrench us away from our inexorable current and carry us to new heights unimagined. —Erich of Eladsit, eleventh-century Montahoian bard”
