“The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“This world that you and we treasure has now been driven round the sun so often that the warp and woof of its space grow threadbare and fall as dust and feeble lint from the loom of time.”
― Gene Wolfe, The Claw of the Conciliator

“Not all those who wander are lost.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
