Quote by Mark Bossingham

“When ships questioned your vision, I fought for you and ships died. We fought among ourselves over the Rim of Sarless. I do not even recall the precipitating incident. I killed three ships attempting to return to the Federation. The Wolfpack finished off a dozen more that couldn’t keep up. When you demanded the fleet exterminate Gideon, a planet of six billion humans, we did it. Sixty percent of your followers deserted that day.”

"I'm built with those black rocks we call carbon and you're built with sandstone or silicon. There is hardly any difference, " said Steve reassuringly.”

“Ons is geneig om te soek na bewyse wat ons angstigheid regverdig. Ons doen dit, dikwels onbewustelik, deur die stories wat ons vrese bevestig ernstig op te neem, en dié wat die teendeel bewys met agterdog te beluister. Onbekend is onbemind. Die enigste teenvoeter vir groeiende vooroordele en die vrese wat daarmee saamgaan, is dat ons dit doelbewus nader aan mekaar waag, en dat ons leer om met ons ore te luister en nie met ons ego’s nie.”
