I agree. I believe Gravemind was written using excerpted prose from old texts both biblical and philosophical. Though I could be wrong; I'm not well versed in either. But his entire dialogue sounds as though it's paraphrased poetry rather than original. That could just be good writing. I don't know. [spoiler]The last quote you listed was definitely a bible thing but that's as well as I can dissect it... GG Bungie [/spoiler] Fantastic quotes from it, though.
