Enoch Troyer: Brother Yoder? Should not we be as gentle as the lambs?

Elijah Yoder: Vetter, worry not. I had a vision. I saw my right hand smeared in blood white as milk. The sky then opened and The Man of War said, "You are my wrath of the lamb...

Enoch Troyer: His rack of-?

Elijah Yoder: Wrath of the lamb, my polished shaft, but the blade of the righteousness only sings when free of the scabbard."

Dr. Troy Vollust Yoder: I wrote my dissertation on reflexivity in Historical Fanfics, especially as they pertain to revolutionary figures.

Elijah Yoder: Fanfics?

Dr. Troy Vollust Yoder: Fictitious stories written by fans of a pre-established world in popular culture. It all started with Star Trek fans in the late 60's. Amateurs began to write Kirk/Spock stories where the two are physically and/or romantically involved. Who can blame them? A spaceship filled with men in tight capris and impeccably groomed side burns is an invitation to slash, isn't it? And those bodies!

Elijah Yoder: The body is but a bridge. Cross over it, but do not build your house on it.
