Why break hearts or blow minds when you can rot souls? - R. Scott Bakker

To indulge it is to breed it. To punish it is to feed it. Madness knows no bridle but the knife.

Any fool can see the limits of seeing, but not even the wisest know the limits of knowing. Thus is ignorance rendered invisible, and are all Men made fools.

The bondage we are born into is the bondage we cannot see. Verily, freedom is little more than the ignorance of tyranny. Live long enough, and you will see: Men resent not the whip so much as the hand that wields it.
