― John Gwynne, Malice

“There is no other road than the one we take, hard though it be. And no man outlives his weird. Best to meet it bravely, face to face.”
― Poul Anderson, The Broken Sword

“Storm. I shall call her Storm.”

“The thing the ecologically illiterate don't realise about an ecosystem is that it's a system. A system! A system maintains a certain fluid stability that can be destroyed by a misstep in just one niche. A system has order, flowing from point to point. If something dams that flow, order collapses. The untrained might miss that collapse until it was too late. That's why the highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
