"There's an ancient bond that still exists today between horses and humans, it is even there with people that have never ridden a horse or been around horses. The horse is what settled the entire west. If it werenâ€™t for the horse theyâ€™d probably be only a couple hundred miles from where they started. A lot of people donâ€™t realize how much they owe the horse because itâ€™s not so much a part of our culture right now as it used to be."

Bitumen looks, smells, and behaves like asphalt; running an economy on it is akin to digging up our existing road infrastructure, melting it down, and enriching the goop with hydrogen until it becomes a sulfur-rich but marketable oil.”
“Vodka is kind of a hobby.”
“I didn't know you were having a hard time. I really am unqualified to be a teacher. Hurting you there...I'm really sorry.”
“It had long been established in the Civil Worlds that public business was to be transparent, and personal business opaque; but it was as well recognised that the two would always have a turbulent interface, and that the clique, the caucus, and the conspiracy were as ineradicable features of civility as the council or the committee.”
