“When I said that I was sick, I was not lying. I always like to try to lie at the minimum level, so I found an innovative way to tell the truth.

I was sick, which was definitely true.

I was sick of not staying true to my name, and I was sick of having to sacrifice my own freedoms of speech just because of philosophical intolerance. (Capacianism might become a religion soon, since they use the term Capacianist Evangelism.) I was sick of restricting my pursuit of education and my pursuit of philosophy and philosophical accuracy.”
― Lucy Carter, The Reformation

“What about ‘Just-ification,’ but with a hyphen? Just-hyphen-ification?” Michael asked.

“What inspired you to come up with this idea?” I inquired.

“Well, if you hyphenate the word justification, it separates the term just from ication. The term just means to be fair and equitable, and since you told us that you wanted to advocate for tolerance between Reformists and Capacianists, I found that justness would be especially relevant to our new movement. Plus, writing that name on paper may intrigue more people, so the movement could become more widespread and well-known. And if you consider the word just and the word justification and put the ideas behind the words together, you would pretty much be saying that you would be using what is just as a justification to the new movement.”
― Lucy Carter, The Reformation

If it hasn't been a thing before, I'm making it a thing now.”
