I loved you backward and forward in time. I loved you beyond boundaries of time and space.
Dan Simmons
Image
The future is like smoke from a burning forest, waiting for the wind of specific events and personal courage to blow the sparks and embers of reality this way or that.
Dan Simmons
Image
It no longer matters who consider themselves the masters of events. Events no longer obey their masters.
Dan Simmons
Image
If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include the truth of contact or be forever hollow.
