Favorite Quote:
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars.


The empire has broken bones and a racing heart,

pumping blood full of dirty air and adrenaline.

I am the king of all the ragged men.

My ragged men, of home, they know of none.

The strongest of my ragged men is merely skin and bone.

But, I, the king of the ragged,

the dirty souls,

breathe clean air into their lungs.
