Quote by Denny Flowers

“You value appearance more than truth?’ ‘Appearance is truth. If I hoard billions of credits but dress like a beggar I will be treated as such. Likewise, I may be drowning in debt, but if I carry myself as a success then that is how I shall be treated. You obsess over your view of the world, of forcing others to accept it. But you don’t realise the world is shaped by perception. If you know the truth, but all others think otherwise, then you are the liar.”

From that first encounter to the last on the eve of Caliban’s death, I thought I was in control and forged a path for Caliban and the Order. In truth, I was waylaid long ago by a false map and led like a fool into the most treacherous depths, from which I never freed myself. It is always the way when dealing with the powers of the warp. Your first steps always seem to be in the right direction, but you will never know at what point you started following their road, because after a time you forget there was a destination at all, and all that remains is the journey.”

“In the end, I listen to my fear. It keeps me awake, resounding through the frantic beating in my breast. It is there in the dry terror in my throat, in the pricking of the rats’ nervous feet in the darkness. Christian has not come home all the night long. I know, for I have lain in this darkness for hours now with my eyes stretched wide, yearning for my son’s return.”
