"...I have to believe that monster can be caged. That it had its time. It had its usefulness, terrible though it was, but that we can choose to be more than animals. That we can look beyond our selves and our own needs. A damn shame it is such a struggle to do so. Every day, we got to fight that damn monster so it don't come out. But every choice we make that puts us at risk for the benefit of others, every decision where we give a little of ourselves, is another win against it."
Gerald Bechet to Terry Winters.[src]

Memorable Quotes[]

"Rush a miracle worker, get shoddy miracles."
Gerald Bechet on miracles.
"Here's the thing 'bout people. We're weak individually, sure. But there's a hell of a lot of us. Might be you can kill one or two. But that means folk will band together until there's enough of 'em to be stronger than you. And no matter where you go, they're gonna chase you down and dogpile you 'til you're dead. You think I'm lyin', you just ask however many species we made extinct cause they were a nuisance. A man ain't much. But mankind's a monster bigger'n you."
Gerald Bechet to Aa'tiami on mankind.


Trivia[]

  • Gerald is an excellent cook, and cooking apparently helps him think.
  • He once dated Doreen. It didn't work out, and nowadays they mostly engage in the occasional, cutthroat debate over proper food preparation. Too much butter, Doreen!
