"
Putting on time out at 5/32.5 hours of the audiobook. Not necessarily a DNF. This is clearly a true labour of love with effort and detail far beyond that which I can appreciate, especially right now.
This is really going to be generic yeast extract s ...more "

“He really is as mad as they say,’ said Gun.
‘Nobody sane would do this,’ agreed Elver.
‘They would,’ said Gun. ‘I have seen the same done, and worse, to further the survival of the Imperium. What is insane is not what was done, but why. This butchery is an indulgence. It serves no purpose. The monstrous can be justifiable, but if it cannot be righteous, then it is merely monstrous.”
― Konrad Curze: The Night Haunter

“Boredom,’ said Curze to his flesh sculpture, many years later, ‘is among the greatest of all human sins. It demands mischief to fill it, and mischief begets disorder. Boredom is pernicious, bringing forth wickedness in those who might remain guiltless. I do not know how much to blame boredom for what happened on Nostramo, but surely it must have played its part.”

“Glory?
Glory is for those too weak to find their inner strength, leaving them hollow parasites, feeding on the affection of even lesser men. Glory is for cowards, too afraid to let their names die.”

“The chanting of the Word Bearers swirls around the walls of the chapel. It laps at Khrossus, a foul, maddening tide. The sound has become a visible thing. It flows over the floor of the chamber. It is fluid and mist, and it trembles like flesh, and it has the strength of stone. Colours whisper of dreams, of madness, of burning worlds. The dome of the chamber is blurry. Khrossus looks once, and feels as if he might fall up and through the ceiling, plunging all the way through the Carchera system, and then onwards, out of the materium altogether.”
