“your words are pure poison, Master Reynold,' said Lesthen. 'You and your kind suffer from the worst disease of humanity, the willingness to subordinate truth, to lock reason in chains and to rape the objective thought, in order to achieve your objective.”
“The object of your desire is not an object.”
“I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.”
“The worst kind of poison for despots: truth.”
“Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip," Jonathan would say, other times, "is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.”
“It is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you.”
