“It is noble to pity a man who is cruel because he is weak, but it is idiotic and dangerous to allow him to have power.”

“I am change,” the insect answered. “I was what I knew, and I became different. The act of becoming requires time in stillness and is not without pain. Change is how the world rekindles in every moment, in all ways. To be of this life, you must change too.”

“Do not presume to judge the Qui, Mr. President. Your society aspires to an ideal that exists only at levels like the United Regions. Analyze your world’s history and you find pockets of feudal life that continue to exist today. Cultures where rape victims are killed so as not to dishonor their family; countries where the male of your species has so little self-control, the female is obliged to hide behind cloth for fear they will tempt them into carnal acts; regions where children are slaughtered for no reason. And this was all before our invasion.”

“Prophecy of Balance (Year of the Cat)
“There must be balance,” Source repeated,
“For mankind to flourish on the Earth-Throne he’s seated.”
His life is a gift from the gods, they created,
And the power to wield choice, but the outcome is weighted.
Seeing the harm and chaos humans manifest,
Wore heavily upon the goodness within their immortal breast.
But the gods disagreed, and two groups they split,
Each one possessing their own talent and wit.
One side fights for freedom of Man’s soul,
But the other wants slavery, and Man to control.
So Source cried, “Enough! Now Observers will be sent,
To assist with human minds you’ve cleverly bent!”
For balance, the pendulum won’t sway too far to one side,
And Universal Laws each god must abide.
The gods agreed, but did not stop with their plan,
To influence mankind as much as they can.”
