— Saadi Youssef, from ‘Night in Hamdan’, Without an Alphabet, Without a Face: Selected Poems (trans. Khaled Mattawa)

“The luminous frontier- that sea of void which our brave lanterns must cross to proselytize to the non-believers, the un-humans and the ones untouched by Flame’s Light. You are our torches held forward! Our stars who will show the way through the night! Go forth! For we are all behind you.”
- Grand Pyr Justinian, speech to assembly of the Sol’s Luminous Frontier exploration program. 1,534 PD.
