This page is well, for things which don't fit elsewhere. Trivia about me, this wiki, music that goes with my fiction, favourite quotes and more. Arguably they could be on my main userpage, but I don't want it too large.

Favourite quotes
"The universe is but the dream of the god, who after a hundred Brahma years, dissolves himself into a dreamless sleep, and the universe dissolves with him, until, after another Brahma century, he stirs, recomposes himself, and begins again to dream, the great cosmic lotus dream. Meanwhile, elsewhere, there are an infinite number of other universes, each with its own god, dreaming the cosmic dream."

- --Carl Sagan

"These great ideas, are tempered by another, perhaps still greater. It is said, that men may not be the dreams of the gods, but rather, that the gods, are the dreams of men."

- --Carl Sagan

"What we see of the real world, is perhaps not the unvarnished real world, but a model of the real world, regulated and adjusted by sense data, but constructed, so its useful for dealing with the real world, the nature of the model in our head, depends on the kind of animal we are."

- --Richard Dawkins on perception.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

- --Arthur C. Clarke

"A Dreeeaaam to some... A NIGHTMARE TO OTHERS!"

- -- Merlin, from Excalibur.
