Commander Xell

“Captivated by the rose, the nightingale
sings to her day and night,
but the rose hears the songs in silence.
And so another singer with a lyre
sings for a young maid;
and the sweet maid does not know
for whom he sings and why
his song is so sad.”
― Алексей Васильевич Кольцов , Стихотворения и песни

“Time is the cruelest force of all.”
― Cixin Liu, Death's End

“у вас загорелись уши, и сквозь резко поглупевшие серо-голубые глаза видна задняя стенка черепа с сакраментальным «Мене, текел, фарес».”
― Генри Лайон Олди, Войти в образ
