2 " There’s no such thing as an unbreakable scientific rule, because, sooner or later, they all seem to get broken. Or to change. "
3 " Behind the violence of the birthing of galaxies and stars and planets came a quiet and tender melody, a gentle love song. All the raging of creation, the continuing hydrogen explosions on the countless suns, the heaving of planetary bodies, all was enfolded in a patient, waiting love. "

7 " Where there is an unreconciled quarrel, everybody suffers "
8 " Many waters cannot quench love,' she whispered. 'Neither can floods drown it. "
9 " Visioned stars exploding into life. Planets being birthed. Yalith had spoken of the violence of Mahlah’s baby’s birth. The birth of planets was no gentler. Violent swirlings of winds and waters.
