Oh, how nice it would be if everything were destroyed! You know, Alyosha, I sometimes think of doing a lot of harm. I would do it for a long while secretly and then suddenly everyone would find out. Everyone will stand around and point their fingers at me and I will look at them all. That would be awfully nice.”

“Where power is concerned, there’s no judgement, no duality, no left and right, no yin and yang, no ‘good’ vs. ‘evil.’ Universally speaking, all that matters is power, pure and simple. This is why in world mythology the seemingly antithetical archetypes of creation and destruction are often wedded in the same god or goddess.”

It's a reputation-laundering firm with a well-read board.”
