The Wild
by David Zindell
- But it is the nature of life that no emotion is meant to last forever... (p42)
- All men are warriors. And life for everything in our universe is nothing but war. (p81)
- For it is only in accepting death that one can truly live, and for the human animal, death has always been the great black beast from the abyss to be dreaded or defeated or avoided or hated - but never looked upon clearly face to face. (p91)
- Truth, like a woman, must be wooed and won - and this only through the purity of mind and the heart’s deep love. (p388)
- This was the true nature of consciousness and the meaning of matter, that ultimately both were one substance without cause or control outside itself. (p518)
- For war is never some cosmic accident descending upon a people with all the chance and inevitability of asteroids falling like fire out of the heavens, but only the will and work of man. (p523)
