    Max Nowaz
    “Being magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he had to 
pump the girl for all she knew. Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? 
Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness.”
    ― Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

    Robert Reid
    “5. Then on a rainy day in early July the words she was copying from one of Martha the Benevolent’s ancient sayings spoke to her:
    Birds fly free until they are put in a cage, but the cage does not bind their wings
    When the cage is opened, the wings spread out, and the bird flies free again
    So the poor are trapped in a cage by the avarice of the rich
    Not in a cage made of gold, but one of hunger, despair and need
    So the prisoner dreams of the wide open spaces
    Wind in her hair, breathing in the freedom, beyond the four walls of her cell
    Our mission is to free the prisoner, to help the poor to spread their wings
    To open the door of the oppressor’s cage, to find a way to a fairer age.”

    “When you’re in The System, like after being arrested, you’re no longer a participant. You’re being processed. Instead of an easy to ignore, well-greased cog, you become a sharp edge that needs to be ground down.”

    “The metal horn unicorns in the Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by the Metal Horn Unicorns are all based on the metal horn unicorn characters in my Blue Unicorn – Journey To Osm books.  If it weren’t for their magical powers, based on the properties of the metals of their horns and hooves, this book would have never come into being.”

    “Is this your bedroom?" she asked, and turned to look at him. Myrnin straightened and jammed the big red floppy hat back on his head. The feathers waved back and forth.
    "Don't get any ideas," he said. "I'm far too young and innocent for that kind of thinking.”
