"This is another book that I constantly come back to and have done so since I was a child. A coming of age story amidst the fight for good against evil, it tells of the dangers of conformity and the courage to be oneself. It also speaks to the strong ties of familial love, a love so strong it can break the hypnosis of brainwashing and even bring you across the universe in search of a lost loved one." — Feb 19, 2023 04:28PM

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts.”
