“They refuse to credit my tale; they impute my act to the influence of daemons; they account me an example of the doom me to death and infamy. Have I power to escape this evil? If I have, be sure I will exert it. I will not accept evil at their hand, when I am entitled to good; I will suffer only when I cannot elude suffering.” SufferingEvil Book:Wieland and Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist Source: Wieland and Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist
