“There is no knowing beyond that membrane, the meniscus of death. What can be seen from here is distorted, refracted. All we can know are those untrustworthy glimpses--that and rumour. The prattle. The dead gossip: it is the reverberation of that gossip against the surface tension of death that the better mediums hear. It is like listening to whispered secrets through a toilet door. It is a crude and muffled susurrus.”
“It takes more courage to dig deep in the dark corners of your own soul and the back alleys of your society than it does for a soldier to fight on the battlefield.”
“I never got a pass mark in math ... Just imagine - mathematicians now use my prints to illustrate their books.”
“A cantor, when he starts singing, it's like rain - once it starts, it's hard to stop.”
“There will always be bad times... It's the getting back up again that counts." - Gallen in "Intrigues”
“The most powerful people on earth are focus groups.”
“Good travel books are novels at heart.”
