Jirel of Joiry Quotes

“It is our purpose to attempt a reversal of this woman's physical and mental self in such a way as to cause her body to become rigidly motionless while her mind—her soul—looks eternally backward along the path it has traveled. You who are human, or have known humanity, will understand what deadly torture this can be. For no human creature, by the laws that govern it, can have led a life whose intimate review is anything but pain.”
― C.L. Moore, Jirel of Joiry
