Quote by Jack Vance

“The space age is thirty thousand years old. Men have moved from star to star in search of wealth and glory; the Gaean Reach encompasses a perceptible fraction of the galaxy. Trade routes thread space like capillaries in living tissue; thousands of worlds have been colonized, each different from every other, each working its specific change upon men who live there. Never has the human race been less homogenous.”

He proved that it definitely isn’t manmade.”

“«Eppure dev’esserci una correlazione. Lo scienziato che gioca col destino dei draghi, e i draghi che si organizzano in segreto per fondare un nuovo regno. Sta accadendo tutto nello stesso momento, vedete? Se i draghi sono sempre esistiti, allora perché è solo oggi, in quest’epoca, che hanno deciso di muoversi? Forse perché è adesso che si sentono davvero minacciati.» «Quando si tratta del dottor Brandi, la minaccia si estende anche a noi.» Disse Eleonora. «Hai ragione, Ale. I draghi sono coloro che potrebbero salvarci.»”
