Gaiton quotes from Andromeda

Gaiton

Tyr

Gaiton

Gaiton

Gaiton

Tyr

He was a poet... a scholar, a magnificent warrior. He was a living god.

Gaiton

What happened to us?

Tyr

Time happened to us. Time changed the universe! But, Gaiton, if the ancestors could do that, you and I... we can change the universe again, if we will it.

Gaiton

Are you Neitzschean?

Tyr

Are you an idiot?
