Appendices
Memorable quotes
"When there is a legend, there will always be a counter-legend as well. There is no reason that all of Ashbey's contemporaries had to love, admire and understand him."
- – Alfred Rosas, to Yang Wen-li, on Bruce Ashbey

Background information
Yang's opening quotation is most likely a reference to The October Country by American writer Ray Bradbury, although it is a collection of horror short stories and not a poem.
