"A tiny bubble of existence hangs in the nothing. This bubble is called a ship. The bubble is its own universe. Within this universe, there are traitors. One is a teacher, and a student;another is a student, and a teacher. One is a gardener. This universe falls toward another, wider universe: a universe that is a garden- Which is still full of weeds."

- Matthew Stover in the novel Traitor

For

 * 1) Not the greatest, but I think its interesting when you look at Jacen's actions during the LOTF series. Vergere makes an interesting analogy of how the gardener can choose what is to stay in the garden and what is to go, and Jacen takes that role upon himself later, in a way.

"It was typical - typical and disgustingly predictable.
