Quotes

“It is always impossible—he was conscious again with that strange clarity of mind—for a man to face his own death honestly. A man always continues to believe to the last moment of his life that something will intervene to save him.”
“Only darkness could not be held off by the will of men.”
“And the opposite of dreams are facts!”
“They’re females right enough, and they can make the impossible happen. I’d say that classifies them as witches.”
“Their tribal system is strictly matriarchal, which follows a pattern even Terra once knew: the fertile earth mother and her priestesses, who became the witches when the gods overruled the goddesses.”
“You can’t play the role of thug all over the galaxy and not store up in the subconscious a fine line of private fears and remembered enemies.”
