“Is that all we have left? Is that all we are? Lights on a map that are slowly dying, hanging on for nothing?”
“A hanging, though, was something different. I got to thinking. We hadn’t never been to nothing just to have a good time. A hanging was special and we was all getting to go.”
“The only hope I have left for you hangs on a great doubt - the doubt whether we are, or are not, the masters of our own destinies. It may be that mortal free-will can conquer mortal fate; and that going, as we all do, inevitably to death, we go inevitably to nothing that is before death.”
“We return to the void we never left, for Mehay is the center of all, and all is the center of nothing.”
“Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.”
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
