“Mastema prefers absolutes. He wants fences on the world and everything in its place, neat and tidy as a churchyard garden. God is not like that. God is boundless. For all his wisdom, Mastema cannot comprehend Yahweh’s need for surprises. An omniscient Being would naturally yearn for things beyond His control, futures He could not see, wills He could influence but not command. Strange, yes. It is odd when the puppeteer desires his wooden slaves to cut their strings, yet that is exactly what He did when he granted humans free will.”

“Liall realized that this was the first time he had really been alone with Scarlet.
He stood up and held out his hand. The blanket dropped from his shoulders. "Come here."

“Know yourself, my lad. Know your strengths but know your weaknesses even more. Small men want misery for the whole world, to lessen their own. That’s why they take what’s not theirs and give harm in its place: to hammer you into what they are. Don’t let yourself be led by hate.”
― Kirby Crow, The Temple Road
