“On the Roots of the World’s Great Evils I was born to vanquish three extreme evils: tyranny, sophism, and hypocrisy; so now I realize with how much harmony Themis taught me Power, Intellect, and Love. These are true and supreme principles of the great philosophy revealed, the remedy against the triple lie, under which you, oh world, quiver weeping. Famines, wars, plagues, envy, deceit, injustice, lust, sloth, and disdain, all depend on these three great evils which in blind self love have their deserving son, the root and instigator of ignorance. Therefore, I come to pluck out ignorance.”

“Because he wasn't like Nadia Niverman's husband, who took the ugliness of his hangovers out on his wife. Eric was one of those I call the pros of the bottle.

“Sometimes, if the person’s ego is a bit stronger, he or she projects this threatening parent onto a spiritual leader or organization. The person either becomes a tyrant or lives in fear of other tyranny. We see this all the time on social media.

“The Cinder King: I am the most powerful man on Canticle, offworlder, you see how they can't protest or resist? How they serve me regardless of how I treat them? I have absolute power over these. Once before I rose to before I rose to my destiny, I was a man who marched prisoners to their fates. There, I realized that true power is not in the ability to kill, but in the ability to control the killers. Auxiliary: Well, that's a perfectly normal and reasonable way of thinking, the knight observes sarcastically. I'm sure he's absolutely the most well-adjusted man on the planet, eh?”

“And that's when we knew we had been right all along: Our parents and teachers couldn't have warned us about this beast, Ted Bundy, because before Rule's book, the words to describe the friendly-looking miscreant that was Bundy didn't exist. This man didn't fit into our sheltered world of bad people who were obviously bad people and good people who were "attractive", charismatic, charming, well-educated people. The equation just didn't work.”
