"As well ask why they brought our ancestors to this star. Oh, yes, I think our races were taken from some other planet entirely, to be their toy. If we guess them to be gods, why stint them? Their avarice and callousness would be gargantuan. We can hardly fail to see that.

Additional quotes by Tanith Lee

As for kisses, he kissed you well. I have his new memories to add to the old. But that life is only a mirage.

The adventurous existence will inevitably pall, for the man who thinks.
