“You can’t stop the Dark Push.”
Roberto Trotta, The Edge of the Sky: All You Need to Know About the All-There-Is

“Student-people are different from other people. They spend their entire life asking questions, and as soon as they have found out the answers, they start all over again with new, harder questions... when a student-person finds a good answer to a hard question, the other student-people will gasp, hug each other, and then throw a party. Those parties never last long, for student-people are in a hurry to go back to work and find new answers.”
