Quotes from our members

"Suicide took about one in ten over the course of the three-year journey. Sometimes this was for traditional reasons."

"Alphas were helium nuclei, four thousand times as massive as betas, moving at relativistic speed. They could not pass quietly through matter any more than cannonballs could, but they did a lot of damage to whatever they hit."

"A bar in Boston had begun offering end-of-the-world drink specials whenever the BFR broke through certain milestones, and the promotion has been copied widely"

"The idea Sean was playing with here was so monstrous in a way that it was almost inconceivable : that everything they were doing up here was a lullaby for the seven billion below."

"The design of the arklets , and of the whole Cloud Ark system, kept changing. One day it was all about being “fully distributed”, which meant that in the long run there was no central depot - no Izzy (ISS)- and that all exchanges of material and “human resources” between arklets would happen through “opportunistic docking”."

"The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason. It was waxing, only one day short of full. The time was 05:03:12 UTC. Later it would be designated A+0.0.0, or simply Zero."

"Vaines tentatives ! L’homme et la bête ne s’entendent pas ; Fitz-Alwine demeure en selle aussi ferme que sur la croupe du cheval demeure la flèche qui vient de s’y implanter, et le cheval et les illusions du baron prennent le mors aux dents et commencent de par la forêt cette course désordonnée…"

"La porte se refermait à peine sur les fugitifs que le baron, à la tête de ses hommes d’armes, faisait irruption dans la chapelle. Nous l’y rejoindrons plus tard ; accompagnons d’abord nos trois amis, dont la gentille Maude est l’ange gardien."

"C’était sous le règne de Henri II et en l’an de grâce 1162 : deux voyageurs, aux vêtements souillés par une longue route et aux traits exténués par une longue fatigue, traversaient un soir les sentiers étroits de la forêt de Sherwood, dans le comté de Nottingham."

"Il tremblait de perdre par un mot tout ce qu’il croyait avoir gagné, se disant qu’on peut ressaisir une occasion et qu’on ne rattrape jamais une sottise. Il voulait qu’elle se donnât, et non la prendre."

"Parfois, en passant dans les villages, le four d’un boulanger projetait des lueurs d’incendie, et la silhouette monstrueuse des chevaux courait sur l’autre maison en face."

"Ce fut comme une apparition : elle était assise, au milieu du banc, toute seule ; ou du moins il ne distingua personne, dans l’éblouissement que lui envoyèrent ses yeux."
