“The White Prophet's premise seems simple. He wished to set the world in a different path than the one it had rolled on through so many circuits of time. According to him, time always repeats itself, and in every repetition, people make most of the same foolish mistakes they've always made. They live from day to day, giving in to appetites and desires, convinced that what they do does not matter in the larger scheme of things. According to the White Prophet, nothing could be further from the truth. Every small, unselfish action nudges the world into a better path. An accumulation of small acts can change the world. The fate of the world can pivot on one man's death. Or turn a different way because of his survival. And who was I to the White Prophet? I was his Catalyst. The Changer. I was the stone he would set to bump time's wheels out of its rut. A small pebble can turn a wheel out of its path, he told me, but warned me that it was seldom a pleasant experience for the pebble.”

“One upshot of all this is that there is a simple way to produce fewer leftists. Raise children who are grateful in general, and grateful to be an American in particular, or grateful to be the citizen of any decent country, who don't complain much, who learn to handle losing, and who are guided by values, not feelings. In other words, teach them how to be happy adults. That, more than any one other thing will produce fewer leftists, and a better world. Because the happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse.”

“I can’t fight .... I can’t fight because I understand why the other side is fighting for I understand them I get what they are fighting for and as fucked up as it is we are fighting for the same thing it’s just that we want to achieve them differently and I can’t go there and kill people who are fighting to rebuild the world the only difference is I want a better world while they want a world of fear”
