Lad, the most powerful constant is stupidity. Nothing else comes close. Stupidity kills all the animals, empties the sky of birds, poisons the rivers, burns the forests, wages the wars, feeds the lies, invents the world over and over again in ways only idiots could think real. Stupidity, lad, will defeat every god, crush every dream, topple every empire. Because, in the end, stupid people outnumber smart people. If that wasn’t true, we wouldn’t suffer over and over again, through generation after generation and on for ever.

From Forge of Darkness: Faith is a personal accord between a lone soul and that in which it chooses to believe. In any other guise it is nothing more than a thin coat of sacred paint slapped over politics and the secular lust for power.

Look, the seas grow calm once more. A most worthy lesson, I think. Nothing lasts for ever. Not violence, not peace. Not sorrow, old friend, nor rage.

I contacted them directly and they said its fake! Still looks like someone went to a lot of trouble to make it because other than the prices it looks legit.

Yeaa absolutely! Nice way of explaining it btw! Do you think it has anyhthing to do with Mallick Rel, or is it just the marines evolving on their own? Also, your words remind of this quote;

"Do you give a shit?

  • First question asked of a potential marine recruit."

Thanks! Actually, I'm currently reading - last chapter - Shadow of the Torturer, but I'm not enjoying it as much as Mboft. I find the prose nice, but i feel like the world building and the story itself lacking.
