->''We passed through several Naga villages, and learned from them that we were not, as we had idly hoped, the first Europeans to come there; a party of five had visited them seven years before. That would be in 1937, we reflected; what eccentrics had they been? Surveyors, prospectors, forestry people, police? I still do not know; but if they were surveyors, I would dearly like to meet them, to tell them what I think of their surveying.''
->''We were now on the fringe of white spaces on the map boldly marked "Unsurveyed" and surrounded with question-marks. It was of this period that we were afterwards alleged to have sent our evening location over the wireless as "Estimated position two miles south of the 'Y' in 'Unsurveyed.'" If we did so, and I have no clear recollection of doing it, we were either: --''

->''In the old days, they didn't know very much about the world. But they made maps anyway. If they had to map something they couldn't, they just drew whatever they felt like and wrote, "Here there be dragons."...\\
We still don't know very much about the world; and there are things to map of it besides its surface.\\
Can broken things be remade? \\
Can destinies change?\\
Is it worth the risk of hope?\\
Important questions, but one can only shrug, you see:\\
'''Here, there be dragons.'''''

-> [[spoiler: '''Jorge of Burgos''']]: There are boundaries beyond which it is not permitted to go. God decreed that certain papers should bear the words "hic sunt leones".

->Centuries ago, ancient maps bore a simple legend: Here There Be Monsters. Now [[KnightTemplar we]] have [[VanHelsingHateCrimes driven those monsters from the world]].

->At the edge of the map, explorers would place a legend: Here There Be Monsters. And sure enough, when transplanted neonates began to feed on the mortal settlers, there were Nosferatu already there, hiding and waiting.

->''Here be dragons.'' The inscription inevitably marks the farthest, most inaccessible, least hospitable corner of the map. The wise navigator [[TheScottishTrope never reads the phrase aloud]], although he might tap ominously at it with the tip of his spyglass. A certain power clings to the very syllables -- not only fuel for mutiny, but something more grand -- words to conjure with. Their very whispering evokes nightmare images of primal fury, avarice, cunning, chaos and destruction.

->So many times I've heard the warning "here be dragons" said about one region of the galaxy or another. When it comes to the Outer Reach however, it's true, all of it.
