The Compleat Traveller in Black QUOTES

1 " Man has one name, and many more than two natures. But the essential two are these: that he shall strive to impose order on chaos, and that he shall strive to take advantage of chaos… A third element of man’s nature is this: that he shall not understand what he is doing. "

― John Brunner , The Compleat Traveller in Black

2 " He had many names, but one nature, and this unique nature made him subject to certain laws not binding upon ordinary persons. In a compensatory fashion, he was also free from certain other laws more commonly in force. "

― John Brunner , The Compleat Traveller in Black

3 " And how do men call you?” “I have many names, but one nature. You may call me Mazda, or anything you please. "

― John Brunner , The Compleat Traveller in Black

4 " Time entails memory, memory entails conscience, conscience entails thought for the future, which is itself implied by the existence of time. "

― John Brunner , The Compleat Traveller in Black
