A weak King must be what other Kings have been; a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.
Orson Scott CardSomeday stars will wind down or blow up. Someday death will cover us all like the water of a lake and perhaps nothing will ever come to the surface to show that we were ever there. But we WERE there, and during the time we lived, we were alive. That's the truth - what is, what was, what will be - not what could be, what should have been, what never can be.
Orson Scott Card
