• Es un viejo dicho, sobradamente justificado, que allí donde las ciencias se encuentran se produce el crecimiento. Además, es cierto que en las zonas fronterizas de la ciencia no sólo se reúnen hechos que a menudo son nuevos, sino que en esas regiones surgen conceptos totalmente nuevos. Tengo la convicción de que así como la antigua biología, a partir de sus fieles estudios de las formas externas, proporcionó un nuevo concepto en la doctrina de la evolución, la nueva biología está destinada a proporcionar conceptos fundamentales de la ciencia completamente nuevos, a los que la física y la química, cuando se ocupan sólo de lo no vivo, nunca podrían llegar.

• Todos tenemos demonios dentro, Nick. Los tsalagi tienen un viejo dicho: en cada corazón hay dos lobos. Uno es el lobo blanco, que está hecho de amor, bondad, respeto, decencia, compasión y todas las cosas buenas de la vida. El lobo negro nace de los celos, el odio, la mezquindad, los prejuicios, la venganza y todos los venenos de la personalidad humana. Los dos luchan constantemente entre sí por el dominio. Y un día, un lobo alcanzará y devorará al otro". - Aqueronte
