Quote by Louise Blackwick

“Vivian’s first impression of Solidago was that she had travelled back in time, but not to a time where architecture had been invented. All houses were twisted out of shape, to say the least. Windows either too large to open or too small to make a difference peppered the city in places one would never dream of having one. The walls were mostly cast in brickwork by the kind of stonemason whose day job was financial advising. Skewed walls with more bricks than mortar, knotted chimneys keeping the smoke inside and cupping rooftops whose main purpose was to gather rainwater – Solidago had it all and more. As the oldest civilization of the cosmos, Alarians might have been excellent at healing, philosophizing and weaving into the fabric of reality, but they were very poor city builders.”

“Ceea ce acum poarta numele de filosofie naturala, cuprinzand intregul cerc al stiintei, unde astronomia ocupa pozitia principala, reprezinta studiul lucrarii lui Dumnezeu si al puterii si intelepciunii lui Dumnezeu din lucrarea Sa, aceasta fiind adevarata teologie. [...] Cat despre teologia studiata acum in locul acesteia, este vorba despre studiul opiniilor si inchipuirilor omenesti despre Dumnezeu.”

“here on this tiny planet, spinning through multi-dimensional infinity, the tiny temporal creatures strive to define the All. Yet the Infinite Oneness remains unchanged and beyond all such words beliefs or theories ...which are like dry leaves on this windy wondrous day....”
