Re: Possible "pull quotes" for upcoming Superiors books
Saminga
"O Death! How bitter is the thought of you! How quick your coming! How secret your path! How uncertain your hour! How all-embracing your reign!" -- Louis of Granada (1505-1588) "There are dead you have to kill." -- Jules Pierre F. S. Desnoyers (1800-1887) "Lovely he looks with his extinguished torch; but, dear gentlemen, Death is not aesthetical." -- J. C. Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) (And yes, I had to translate two translated dicta, so I hope I didn't distort them too much. And I'm also aware that dicta nos. 1 and 3 are far too sophisticated for Saminga... And maybe no. 2, too. ;) ) Kronos "Fate's malicious and eternal law is that all things must, when they've reached their acme, plummet down more quickly into the depth than they rose." -- L. Annaeus Seneca (ca. 4-65)
