“He’s the best of us. The best of our best, the best that each of us will ever build or ever love. So pray for this guardian of our growth and choose him well, for if he be not truly blessed, then our designs are surely frivolous and our future but a tragic waste of hope. Bless our best and adore him for he doth bear our measure to the cosmos.”
― John Steakley, Armor

“Religion is what you sing on Sunday. Your true faith is what you want all week.”

“It is the difference between the unknown and the unknowable, between science and fantasy - it is a matter of essence. The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable. The man who bows in that final direction is either a saint or a fool. I have no use for either.”
― Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light

“People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Mirror Dance
