Corruption never has been compulsory; when the cities lie at the monster’s feet there are left the mountains (Cities Quotes)
The stars begin to fade like guttering candles and are snuffed out one by one. Out in the depths of space the great celestial cities, the galaxies cluttered with the memorabilia of ages, are gradually dying. Tens of billions of years pass in the growing darkness... of a universe condemned to become a galactic graveyard (Cities Quotes)
