Fatal Quotes

“He’s dying!’ Doctor Cove, one of the ship’s two medical officers told me, looking at his med-scanner as he kneeled at the broken body of the only living Corsair on the black ship. I remember the look on his face as he told me – which seemed more to be puzzlement than actual concern. The man was a Corsair after all, and had injuries I could see, but he was conscious, and none of them looked fatal. But then, I’m no doctor. I never was any good at healing anything – and my job was doing the opposite, and I admit I’m pretty good at it. Always have been.”

“Every day part of our mind exercises are devoted to bracing ourselves against the advancing penultimate act that foreshadows our sorrowful ultimate demise. It is foolish to deny our destiny. We must play life’s mocking game to the predetermined finish line. Every twist and turn is perilous. Fate is comparable to walking on black ice: we are eventually bound to slip. The untiring testing hand of fate will trip each of us up on one or more occasion before it delivers its fatal blow.”

“There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a fortification against the martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape the consequences.”

“Faster is fatal, slower is safe.”

“Religious extremism is fatal to those who don't conform to its values, or remold or submit themselves to its 'principles'. It craves control and power - and power is the one tool that enables it to wreak its characteristic havoc, destruction and cruelty upon those it chooses to label as scapegoats. Giving in to extremists enables them and empowers them - and worse, it encourages them.”

“In 2017 I became extremely ill with flu-like symptoms and was confined to bed for a week, 2018 was filled with colon issues that resulted in a colonoscopy removing a 5mm polyp from the sigmoid colon. Intestinal pains were a feature of high altitude workplaces and I had previously seen a gastroenterologist in 2006 for extreme intestinal pains that were so severe that I was falling over with them. The removed polyp was causing malnutrition to occur and I had been high dosing with nutritional supplements to offset it. My very high altitude coworker had died from fatal colon cancer.”

“Algunas veces te levantas de la cama y ya no sabes porqué estás luchando. ¿Estás luchando el día a día para que retrocedan tus alergias y tu riesgo de cáncer? ¿Pagas un carísimo seguro médico con el dinero que te dan por dejarte la salud trabajando? ¿Haces más horas que el reloj para pagar la tele de plasma y así no puedes ver la tele de plasma porque haces más horas que el reloj? ¿Trabajas para pagar el coche que te compraste para ir a trabajar? ¿Estás luchando por los tuyos cada vez que los metes en un asilo o en una guardería, pagas para que a tus seres queridos los cuiden los demás mientras tú ganas dinero cuidando de otros demás, a los que no soportas? ¿Pierdes el tiempo con los amigos o pierdes a los amigos con el tiempo? ¿Conseguirás con tu trabajo que tus hijos vivan en un mundo mejor que el que tus padres te dejaron a ti? ¿Quién crees que pagará tu pensión y tu asilo cuando te jubiles?”

“Nowadays, a simple faulty brake light traffic stop, can get a black person killed. It's better to fix the broken light bulb, then having to face and cooperate with a senseless police officer.”
