Quote by Daven Anderson

“Remember, our kind protects you Normals from the Pures. We are the rope tied between man and super-beast. A rope forever dangling from the precipice. I tap Zetania's shoulder and ask, "What's a precipice?" "A cliff's edge," she whispers. Precipice. Must be a French word.”

“There are old pilots and there are bold pilots', goes the saying, 'there are no old bold pilots'. Hal never qualified as old. He'd survived his fuel tank blunder; his next mistake killed him. In the years that followed, other pilot friends and acquaintances were killed in flying accidents. We were never ready; the news always shocked. Whether we learned from these shocks is doubtful; every pilot is certain that Death will never find him.”

“We see not why in prose, there should not be much of that mighty licence in the fantastic, that measured riot, that right of whimsy, that unabashed dalliance with the extreme and the beautiful, which the world allows, by prescription, to verse. Why may not one in prose chase forest-nymphs, and see little green-eyed elves?”

“Your daughters are receptors of knowledge, filled with interesting ideas, thoughts that could generate great conversations, find solutions to the world’s problems, if you care to engage them in talk. Don’t force them to be something they are not, because your sons have no control over themselves. Don’t shut them in, imprison them in shrouds, black cloaks with only their eyes showing, covering them up like corpses ready to be thrown on a communal burial heap.”
