"I really like Sazed's plot this time around. and anyway, Sandy must have had a loooot of fun with making up all those religions, he reminds me of my middle school self - it was my favourite part of creating a world for my stories, right after choosing names for the characters." — Aug 14, 2016 05:18PM

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.

In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
