"Hear me. Whatever exists without my knowledge exists without my consent."

"Books lie. God does not lie."

"You have no idea what I am."

"All things proceed from darkness and all things end in darkness."

"Whatever is not eternal is trash."

"Whatever moves is alive. Whatever is alive seeks to kill."

"Everything in the universe is traveling in some direction."

"Whatever cannot be measured is not real."

"The judge smiled. He dipped a wooden stylus in the pigment and began to draw upon a chart of the heavens merely to elucidate the character of the beasts themselves"

"You are my warrant. You follow me as the truth follows justice."

"Men are made in the image of God, said the judge. God is said to be just. Yet he is not."

"Whatever exists without my knowledge exists without my consent."
