“I love you too, Maddie, but I love being here. I love Rokan. I love all of this and it feels exciting to me. I want to keep learning and growing stronger. And I’m sorry if you don’t like it here, but that doesn’t mean I want to leave. There is nothing back on Earth that holds a candle to what I’ve got with Rokan. Nothing.”

“Is this a human thing I do not understand? Do you enjoy endangering yourself?”
She blows out an angry breath and her eyes narrow at me. Her hands go to her hips. “Fuck you.”
I go very still. I have heard that human word before. They spout it from time to time, but I have dismissed it as babble. It was not one I learned when the Elders’ Cave taught me their words, but one I overheard Jo-see say to Haeden recently, in between kissings. Lust blazes through me, surprising in its intensity. I study Mah-dee. Under the furs, I know her form is lush and thick, healthy and solid. She is not built like tiny Jo-see, but strong and plump with good health. Her hair is a strange pale color, but her round face is appealing for all its human strangeness. I am surprised…and honored that she has chosen me as a pleasure-mate. “You wish me to fuck you? I accept.”

“A word of new information is based upon a strong source, in order to carry a neutral, peaceful and plural interpretation.”
“Dear Angel, What is Karma?
For the ancient ones; the balance of Karma emits from selfless service. The greater the service the greater the opportunity to immediately balance the karma (illusion of separation from the One).”

“When you’re talking birth control, what blocks it and freezes it out is that it’s not a matter of more or fewer babies being argued. That’s just on the surface. What’s underneath is a conflict of faith, of faith in empirical social planning versus faith in the authority of God as revealed by the teachings of the Catholic Church. You can prove the practicality of planned parenthood till you get tired of listening to yourself and it’s going to go nowhere because your antagonist isn’t buying the assumption that anything socially practical is good per se. Goodness for him has other sources which he values as much as or more than social practicality.”

“...it was then I recognized that my own values --- the tenets I hold dear as an Englishman --- they are not the only, nor the best, values in existence. I understood there were many ways of being in the world, that to privilege one rigid set of beliefs over another was to lose something.”
