Line Dancing Quote by Terry Mancour

““But . . . this door is allayed with a sign,” Onranion pointed out, waving his hand in front of it and singing a few words. A pale blue Alkan glyph appeared. “What does it say?” “Our language indicates, with layers of inference and context, a particular meaning,” Onranion lectured. “Our symbols don’t merely ‘say’, they truly inform. But only those who understand those subtle contexts, those who can make the proper inferences of meaning – and all of the possible shades of that meaning.” “So what subtle concept does this particular glyph indicate?” asked Mavone, studying the squiggly blue line dancing in the air. “‘To the Dungeon,’” supplied Lilastien, with a snicker. “And the context?” prompted Hance. “Uh . . . ‘this way' to the dungeon? It’s down 'these' stairs?’” suggested Mavone. “More or less,” Onranion shrugged.””
