“Terrible goddamn place. Some days it's like some bastard nailed a ticket for the bus tour down to fucking Hell to the front of my brain. For every wild everything-depends-on-it first-week-of-being-madly-in-love kiss on a streetcorner, for every beautiful woman stopping to feel the sun on her face and every child dancing in clean rain, there's a kid living in its own shit in a dumpster somewhere while Daddy sells his ass for milk money, tanks breaking down unwanted houses just to stop homeless people squatting there... Time was this place didn't make sense and I could live with it. Either it's changed, or I have. There's all the good things on this ticket, and pure fucking evil too. And all the same, I'm going down with you.”

“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.”
