"Secrecy is our shield. It is how we defend lesser men from themselves."

-David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

"The Lion had long held that the calibre of man was in reverse proportion to their need to make their worth known. It was a belief that had yet to be proven false."

-David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

"There have always been those who would champion the merits of perception, instinct, or faith over Empirical Truth. But facts are immutable, regardless of who or what perceives them. Power will always belong to the one who knows them. To one accustomed to small triumphs, every victory is great. It is in my gift, and in yours, to see beyond."

-David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)

"Some men demand such pomp. They cannot accept the end of one era and the commencement of another without an occasion by which to mark it and give it meaning. Laurels must be given, honours and fair titles invented so that they may be bestowed upon favoured generals. Some men need recognition.' The shadows around the Emperor's throne deepened. But beneath the layers of obfuscation, deep within the myriad guises of that singularly unfathomable being, the Lion felt the Emperor behold His firstborn son. 'Some men,' the Emperor continued, 'do not."

-David Guymer, Lion El'Jonson: Lord of the First (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs, #13)
