HAD to Be Sharp/Quotes

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

- Marcus Aurelius

"Kohr-Ah: We evolved on a hostile world, the descendants of solitary hunters. Kohr-Ah: In a world where one species is the dominant killer Kohr-Ah: one's only threat is one's brother, one's sister, anyone of one's species. Kohr-Ah: Civilization did not come easily to us, we earned it. Kohr-Ah: We mastered our hatreds and murderous desires to form a mighty culture. Kohr-Ah: In those ancient days, there was no Kohr-Ah or Kzer-Za, only the Ur-Quan. Kohr-Ah: We explored our world, and then the space beyond. Kohr-Ah: Here we met the six races of the Sentient Milieu Kohr-Ah: here we met the Taalo... the only species we ever called `friend'. Kohr-Ah: Our association with the Taalo and the Milieu lasted for three thousand years. Kohr-Ah: We, the Ur-Quan who could not tolerate the presence of others Kohr-Ah: became the Milieu's scouts, their solitary explorers. Captain: Who were the Taalo? Kohr-Ah: Of all the species we have met, only the Taalo did not trigger our instinctive territoriality. Kohr-Ah: They were the only people we could stand with, or talk to, without the hunter inside us screaming Kohr-Ah: `Kill the interloper! Rip out its life!'"
