This time, I’ll fight. Tooth and nail, I’ll fight.”
― Sabaa Tahir, An Ember in the Ashes

Sure, the zebra will suffer for the death of her cubs, but the only alternative is for the lioness to see her own cubs die from hunger. The categories of good and evil blur because there are no vegetarian lions, right? In the animal world, when a choice is forced, judgment remains suspended. But what about humans?”
― Donato Carrisi, L'ipotesi del male
