Quote preview background for Colleen McCullough
Luke__ not a bad man, or even an unlikable one,_ she went on. __ust a man. You__e all the same, great big hairy moths bashing yourselves to pieces after a silly flame behind a glass so clear your eyes don__ see it. And if you do manage to blunder your way inside the glass to fly into the flame, you fall down burned and dead.While all the time out there in the cool night there__ food, and love, and baby moths to get. But do you see it, do you want it? No! It__ back after the flame again, beating yourselves senseless until you burn yourselves dead!
