“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Usually entertainment from the Age of Morality was emotionally incomprehensible to her, as it was to most people. The passions, the fears, the triumphs, and the losses; it made no sense to a world without need, greed, and natural death. But as a scythe, she had come to understand morality better than most- and she certainly had come to understand greed and lust for power. Those things might have been absent from most people's lives, but they seethed in the scythedom, moving more and more from the dark corners of the mainstream.”
― Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead
