“ He laughed. "It's not so wild as you think. I've been there. And nothing so fearsome exists that we cannot overcome it. Nor will anyone ever find us. The natives are friendly—I know them well."
Once more she began to weep. ”

“ We cannot escape from the Valley. It is guarded at the exit by the Beast. None have ever escaped him."
Dahnjen patted the rifle strapped to his back. "Think you that the Priests alone know anything of science?" ”

“ You are engaged in a very complex experiment with the human brain, registering its waves and emanations in relation to thought, emotions and purely psychological relations. You've got a degree in psychology, another in psychiatry, a third in biology. ”
