Quote by Dean F. Wilson

“There weren’t many amulet smugglers around these parts. They mostly served Regime territory down south, where the so-called “demons” reigned. If you didn’t want a monster for a child, you’d pay a pretty penny for one of those necklaces. And if you were caught smuggling them, well, you’d pay with your pretty head.”

“Some days, the sheer amount of enemies we attracted made me question if maybe our crew was a little too trigger happy. That maybe we’d pissed in too many pots without thinking of the consequences. But then I remembered most folks couldn’t hold to a basic code of honor if it killed them. And kill them we did. Repeatedly.”

“Smugglers are always going to be flush with cash as soon as they find a buyer for the eight cartons of fountain pen cartridges that write in illegal shades of green, but they never have money today. You should, if you are going to run a smugglers' hotel, get a big account book and assume that whatever you write in it, the reality is, you're going to get paid in fountain pen cartridges. If you're lucky. You could just as easily get paid with something even more useless.”

“The Hawkhurst Gang was a pernicious set of ruffians – smugglers, you understand – that held a rule of terror over the countryside when your grandfather was a boy. They committed every sort of atrocity, and were so strong in numbers – how many men was it they were able to muster within an hour, Father?’‘I forget,’ returned his lordship shortly. ‘Five hundred,’ supplied Richmond. ‘And they used to have regular battles with rival gangs!”

“…yet three acts were unanimously decided upon; first, to send all the women and children out of the village--next, to despatch a messenger to Woodchurch for military aid--and, next, to set about casting bullets immediately, as no shot larger than slugs were to be found in the place. The reader will probably ask, with a look of surprise, "Is this a scene in North America, where settlers were daily exposed to the incursions of the savages?"--and he may add, "This could not have happened in England!" But I beg to say, this happened in the county of Kent, less than a century ago; and persons are still living, who remember having been sent with the women and children out of the village, that the men might not be impeded by fear for those they loved, while defending the spot on which they were born.”

“Tot ce putem şti, fără temerea de a fi dezmintiţo este că suntem purtătorii bogaţi ai unor excepţionale posibilităţi. Tot ce putem crede, fără de a săvârşi un atentat împotriva lucidităţii, este că ni s-a dat să luminăm cu floarea noastră de mâine un colt de pământ. Tot ce putem spera, fără de a ne lăsa manevraţi de iluzii, este mândria unor iniţiative spirituale, istorice, care să sară, din când în când, ca o scânteie şi asupra creştetelor altor popoare. Restul e - ursită.”
