The trouble with pretending to have no emotions beyond a vague benevolence is that after a while you start to believe your lies. But that I do not display my emotions does not mean I do not have them. Oh, no,” he added a little more softly, “it does not indeed. Benevolent I think I can generally claim to be, but calm, disinterested, and serene I am not.”

“Thought of his lord, never failing to do his duty.
Thought of his lord, with no one to joke with him.
Thought of losing that—he could not call it friendship, could he? That implied a kind of equality, and there was no equality possible between the Sun-on-Earth and anyone else.
But call it a relationship, that was permissible.
He suppressed the wish that he dared call his Radiancy his friend.”

Really should have noticed this book was over 900 pages before I started. Not sure I was ready for a book this long but here I am. It's interesting, but it moves so slowly.
