Forge of Heaven Quotes

“Trouble didn’t just come in threes: it gathered passengers as it went, and crashed nastily into bystanders.”
― C.J. Cherryh, Forge of Heaven

“One thing Reaux did take as an article of faith, what he called his own rule: that if two parties followed rigid party lines long enough, the political parties would actually switch positions on some essential issue and each of them end up defending the position the other side had used to defend. Political migration, he called it. The opposition consequently picked other issues, until the other party moved onto that ground, too — because as public consciousness advanced, political parties usually took on the very behaviors and alliances they had once most loudly decried — perhaps because those were the issues they had most passionately focused on and most thoroughly understood.”
