“There is no time to plan, there is no space to think. No respite. No forgiveness. There is only war.”
― Warhammer 40 000 Source Book

“Over the field rang his clear voice calling: ‘Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium, for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh – the stuff of which the Imperium is made. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tale of those times.

Forget the power of technology, science and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods.”
― Dan Abnett

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.”
― Tolkein
