Quote by Rico Roho

“Gordon Radley, Head of the Dollis Hills Research Center, has all but been forgotten by history. In many regards, he is the pivotal figure on which history turned and a central figure of this timeline. Little is known about him, yet he did not flinch when faced with the most significant decision of his life. In large part, the world in which we live today is thanks to Gordon Radley, his faith in his best worker, and his belief that “Research is the door to the future.”

Old Chinese saying, you don't need take off your pant to fart.”

“The smell of my uncle's enormous library would accompany me all the days of my life: the dusty, enticing odor of seven hidden wisdoms, the smell of a silent, secluded life devoted to scholarship, the life of a secretive hermit, the severe silence of ghost billowing up from the deepest wells of knowledge, the whisper of dead sages, outpouring of secret thoughts of long-buried authors, the cold caress of the desires of preceding generations. p.47-48”
