" All being experience hunger, that persistent reminder of mortality. The blooming hollow inside all, which affirms that only by taking from without and devouring within can we extend our coil. Hunger is universal for those who are destined to die. As they feed, they pay the incremental bribes that forestall its coming. "

― Ian St. Martin , Lucius: The Faultless Blade (Warhammer 40,000)
