"I have heard the songs of many gods, child. Silly gods, powerful gods, and capricious gods, and biddable gods, and dull. Long ago, when you first welcomed us to your household, and fed us and gave us shelter, and invited us to stay, I listened to you say that we are all—Jana’ata and Runa and H’uman—children of a God so high that our ranks and our differences are as nothing in his far sight."

- Children of God, Ch. 33
