" "
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery -- Cygnus X-1, Book One; The Voyage (1977)

Additional quotes by Neil Peart

Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best -- Witch Hunt (Part III of 'Fear') (1981)

How can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit -- Turn The Page (1987)

...if the music stops and there's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory -- All the sacrifice in vain
(And) If love remains, though everything is lost
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost -- Bravado (1991)
