When you are exiled from a space, you are exiled from a time.

So city a man he seldom freed his feet to feel the country.

The Tunnel (1995)

The devil does not sign contracts with just anyone. Upon the tens of millions, no judgment is pronounced. For them there is death, of course, but no doom. The trouble with history is its incorrigible and horrifying honesty. Only the truly doomed matter a damn to it. History is the abyss of the doomed.
