The universe is not like a puzzle-box that you can take apart and put back together again and so solve its secrets. It is a shifting uncertain thing which changes as you consider it, which is changed by the very act of observation. A powerful man is not a man who dissects the universe like a puzzle-box, examining it piece by piece and measuring each piece with scientific precision. A powerful man has only to look upon the universe to change it.
— Technomagos Gaelos

One can verge from the standard form, but one must always retain their humanity, or be lost to the Men of Iron and their ways.
— Text of the Oiled Cog v.12

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved.
For the Machine is immortal...
Even in death I serve the Omnissiah."
— Magos Dominus Reditus

"Fools have asked 'Why did the Dark Age of Technology end in the fall of humanity?', and other fools answer back 'Folly' or 'Pride' or 'The Worship of Progress', as if these things alone had any meaning. The answer, as the wise know, is simple. It is because finally humanity had the arts at their disposal to make their dreams reality, and the dreams of humanity have ever been the darkest things in all creation."
— Introduction to the Emerald Testament, Suppressed work of the Technoarchaeologist Synecius Thorn, M39

"Those who play with the devil’s toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword."
— Buckminster Fuller

"Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours."
— Colonel Joachim Pfeiff, Krieg 14th Armoured Regiment

"And on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."
— Matthew 16:18

In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.
— Archmagos Ultima Cryol - "Speculations On Pre-Imperial History"
