C.J. Cherryh Quotes
Once He Had Thought It A Refuge, Once He Had Thought It Holiness ... But Now He Began To Suspect That The Good Brothers Did Not Shadow The Ether Not Because They Were Good, But Because They Had Masked Themselves From Everything, Had Carefully Erased Their Stray Thoughts, Had Poured Out Their Human Longings, Emptied Themselves Of Desires And Become So Transparent As Existence That They Had Not Only Ceased To Be Evil, They Had Ceased To Be Good. They Had Ceased To Fight The Battles Of Everyday Life, And Simply Weighed Nothing. Not A Feather. Not A Grain. They Had Given Up Everything, Until They Vanished From The Scale Of All That Mattered, Having Given Away Themselves Long Before Any Power Declared The Contest.
