"Everyone's in position, then?" Najdan. "Yes," Tansen replied. "Lann sent a runner asking how soon his men can start killing assassins.

Najdan replied dryly, "They sound ready." - The Destroyer Goddess (452)

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
The Call of Cthulhu - H.P. Lovecraft
IMHO, one of the most beautiful paragraphs ever. Incidentally it is the first paragraph of that short story.
