“The main thing that endears the United Nations to member governments, and so enables it to survive, is its proven capacity to fail, and to be seen to fail. If there is something you are expected to do, but don't want to do, or even have done for you, you can safely appeal to the UN in the comfortable certainty that it will let you down.”

“The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own.

After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.”
