Quotes by John Ostrander (?)

“So -- where do you want to go now, pateesa?" "Forward, Syn. Only way we can go. My father always said 'We take what is given.' Felt like all the galaxy ever handed me was darkness and grief. Like Krayt, I took what was given and gave into my anger... wrapped the anger around me so close, it blocked out the light. Suffocated myself in death and darkness until I forgot how to live. Tried to cut myself off from the Force so I didn't have to feel anything. Tried to make my heart a void... But nothing's a void -- not even in space. I've seen the way all things connect. Energy flows through the galaxy. Creating life, healing it. As long as the galaxy exists, life will find a way. There is no Death -- There is only the Force”
― John Ostrander, Star Wars: Legacy, Volume 11: War
