Quote by Tad Williams

“Wars don't end, he thought suddenly. They become stories, told to children. They become causes that are taken up by those who were not even born when the war started. But they don't end. We are a fierce race, we men. We will give up even our short, precious lives for revenge---no, for justice. No wonder the immortals fear us.”

“I see how the gaping abyss between those who have much and those who have nothing can cause dangerous fractures in society. I see how power corrupts, how the people are manipulated and kept in their place. I see all of that, Professor Vallejo. But I am always left wondering if the fighting is worth so many dead. This country has been torn apart by authority-hungry men in all realms - in business, politics and religion. It is the ordinary people who are crushed like ants underfoot. That is what happens. That is the only comment I have.”

“Те, що війна може тривати безкінечно довго, що іноді вона триває навіть тоді, коли її давно програно, пов'язано із щонайглибшою потребою маси зберігати свій збуджений стан, не розпадатись, залишатися, власне, масою. Це почуття іноді таке глибоке, що люди свідомо воліють піти разом на смерть, тільки лиш не визнати поразки й тим самим не пережити розпаду власної маси.”
