“He was thirty-two. Not old—but he felt old. His body, whatever its mutant mental powers, was physically weak. Every star! Every star he could see—and every star he couldn’t see. It must all be his! Revenge on all. On a humanity of which he wasn’t a part. On a Galaxy in which he didn’t fit.”
― Isaac Asimov, Second Foundation

“I want him to see, you know?” Lissja said. She was staring into her drink, not moving a muscle. “Oonai. I want him to wake up and see the ruins of his life, see what he did to his wife and to Inqshi, and the city.

― Nicolas Lietzau, Dreams of the Dying
