From the castellean of the fortress of Hera:
“When you have come to the edge of all that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen,’ the Warmaster had told him.
‘And what are they?’ he had asked.
‘That there will be something solid to stand on or you’ll be taught to fly,’ laughed Horus as he jumped.”
― Graham McNeill, False Gods
“He (the Emperor) once said of ancient Earth that there were torches, who were the teachers, but also extinguishers, who were the priests.”
― Graham McNeill, False Gods
“I know, but it is a pleasant fiction, my dear, and the sheer impossibility of a quest is no reason to abandon it.”
― Graham McNeill, False Gods
“A world of death is a world of stagnation, without the change that makes it worthwhile. What you call uncertainty, I call life itself.”
― Graham McNeill, God King
"Huron-Fal’s systems were on the verge of shutdown ... ‘This death,’ rasped the voder, ‘this death is ours. We choose it. We deny you your victory.’
"Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate."
"From iron cometh strength. From strength cometh will. From will cometh faith. From faith cometh honour. From honour cometh iron." "And may it ever be so"
