Darkness: Difference between revisions
Until we have explicit confirmation that the speaker of this quote is not the Darkness, I think it's appropriate to keep it up here. As I've stated before, it's still very much up for debate whether "the Darkness" in the Books of Sorrow and Unveiling is actually the Darkness and not the Witness, but the text itself seems to be written from the Darkness' perspective and differs in style and tone from the Witness' speech.

{{Quote|Ah, [[Oryx]], how do we explain it to them? The world is not built on the laws they love. Not on friendship, but on mutual interest. Not on peace, but on victory by any means. The universe is run by extinction, by extermination, by gamma-ray bursts burning up a thousand garden worlds, by howling singularities eating up infant suns. And if life is to live, if anything is to survive through the end of all things, it will live not by the smile but by the sword, not in a soft place but in a hard hell, not in the rotting bog of artificial paradise but in the cold hard self-verifying truth of that one ultimate arbiter, the only judge, the power that is its own metric and its own source—existence, at any cost. Strip away the lies and truces and delaying tactics they call 'civilization' and this is what remains, this beautiful shape.<br>The fate of everything is made like this, in the collision, the test of one praxis against another. This is how the world changes: one way meets a second way, and they discharge their weapons, they exchange their words and markets, they contest and in doing so they petition each other for the right to go on being something, instead of nothing. This is the universe figuring out what it should be in the end.<br>And it is majestic. Majestic. It is the only thing that can be true in and of itself.<br>And it is what I am.|The Darkness}} | |||
