Io Deceneus Quotes

“Politician? Me? Do I look like a big mouth with large pockets?”
― Florian Armas, Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler

“When the fight ends you can afford to relax. That’s the worst part. Winner or loser you have again eyes to see around you. Blood, butchered bodies, bodies pierced by arrows. You stir inside, your heart tightens, the feeling of loss wells up. The sense of smell is the next thing to revive, adding a new dimension of pain. I closed the eyes of the last cadet, blue eyes, unseeing, his body, so small, almost a child, the youngest cadets were all gone, their faces surprised in death. Cold lips never able again to kiss a girl. It’s then that the emptiness swallows you and you mourn inside. Damn you, Scharon. No! Damn you, Travellers.”
― Florian Armas, Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler

“Knowledge: knowledge can be dangerous, dangerous for you or for others interacting with you, therefore again dangerous for you. Always treat it with respect.”
― Florian Armas, Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler

“Doubt is an uncomfortable condition, full of unknowns, asking questions but raising possibilities.”

“They have cast my life like dice, in a game that is not a game. The unusual erupted into my life like a storm; I mean unusual in my actual perception of things. Do not mistake me; I never desired things that are certainly harder to bear, and nobody asked me if I really wanted an extraordinary life. That is not entirely true; I was asked, in the way a child seeing a cake is asked if he really wants to eat it.”
― Florian Armas, Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
