Toll the Hounds Quotes

“It may be that in the belief of the possibility of redemption, people willingly do wrong. Redemption waits, like a side door, there in whatever court of judgement we eventually find ourselves. Not even the payment of a fine is demanded, simply the empty negotiation that absolves responsibility. A shaking of hands and off one goes, through that side door, with the judge benignly watching on. Culpability and consequences neatly evaded. There is, in this, no moral compass. No need for one, for every path leads to the same place, where blessing is passed out, no questions asked. The cult of the Redeemer... it is an abomination.”
