"Haven't read anything from Patternmaster in probably 15 years, and I'm honestly unsure if I've ever read this one (or just parts). Really looking forward to it." — Oct 04, 2023 01:06PM

Joshua’s Quotes

“Misuse of reason might yet return the world to pre-technological night; plenty of religious zealots hunger for just such a result, and are happy to use the latest technology to effect it.”

“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”
― Stephen King, The Gunslinger
