Two roads diverged in a yellow wood- You know this poem, right? Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth- I loved that poem. But I remember thinking to myself: Why? How come you can t travel both? That seemed really unfair to me.”

“Devil-boy Jack: A higher power than ours directs us against the wych-kin. There is no turning back. Thaniel Fox: There is no higher power, Devil-boy! And I am no-one s pawn, neither man nor wych nor whatever entity you speak of. Devil-boy Jack: I do not speak of entities. I speak of the force that created the physics of the universe, the force that makes time flow forward and not allow everything to happen at once, the force that sets the patterns to which the planets turn. Its weapons are coincidence, unlikelihood, happenstance. It is there when a man stops suddenly to pick up a coin dropped by another man ten days before, and the woman who is to be his wife bumps into him, and five hundred years hence their offspring rules half the world. It is there when a chance comment causes a scientist to think, What if...? and ten years later a great plague is cured. It is so vast that what we call chaos is simply another part of its order, with a shape too big to see. It has no name, nor will it ever have, though man may hint darkly at fate and destiny. It is what it is... the pattern. We may choose our own paths, but the pattern is always ahead of us. It is a way. It is the way.”
