The two lights on the canal boat, one at the stern, one at the prow, were reflected in the water, shimmering there, and were reflected, as well, from the metal plates or scales, of the hideous monstrosity but yards away. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 33, Sentence #186)

"I do but report matters as they stand. However unwelcome might be delay, it is inevitable. I cannot control the speed of tarns, the pace of kaiila, the strength of men, the whims of winds".
