“The word is now a virus. The flu virus may have once been a healthy lung cell. It is now a parasitic organism that invades and damages the central nervous system.

And why is it that these islands and no others are held holy, when, as you can see, they are not all the highest or the most impressive”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, Lady of Avalon

“A baby was like a revolution, Grigori thought: you could start one, but you could not control how it would turn out.”
