1 " The path of life is strewn with many perils and the folly of knowledge is one of the greatest dangers. Wisdom is a treacherous weapon, little master, for it is sundered from compassion. All too often the end of the journey gains more import than it should and the wise become blind to the road and the method of their passing. "

― Robin Jarvis , Thomas (The Deptford Histories, #3)

2 " Many grim tales stem from your green lands, and still deeds both noble and evil shall yet unfold there. "

5 " Nine bright stars from out the void
shining up on high
whose banished soul do they call back
and augur in the sky?
Despoiler of the ancient lands,
who baked the deserts dry.
Scarophion, Scarophion - the demon is close by. "
