It's like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy—it's serious business. It's not something where you think, Oh, I've got it done. I did it all day, hotdiggety.

For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.”
