Re: Possible "pull quotes" for upcoming Superiors books

"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)
