Quote
Knowledge accumulated and lived inside of you. He wasn’t sure how it happened, but if you had the pieces of a puzzle in your mind, they would eventually drift close enough to fit together.

Quote
A bird flashed across the empty sky. A cart immobile on the horizon, like a midday star. How could a plain like this be remade?
