“What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera.”
― Aldous Huxley

“Fred’s vacuum-rated armor protected him from the smell of viscera, but it reported it to him as a slight increase in atmospheric methane levels. The stench of death reduced to a data point.”

“In later years it was a tale told and retold, how the Lydia was towed into action with hornpipes being danced on her maindeck.

― C.S. Forester, Beat to Quarters
