“Do what you will, there is going to be some benevolence, as well as some malice, in your patient's soul. The great thing is to direct the malice to his immediate neighbours whom he meets every day and to thrust his benevolence out to the remote circumference, to people he does not know. The malice thus becomes wholly real and the benevolence largely imaginary.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“Listen to the fool's reproach! It is a kingly title!”
― William Blake, Proverbs of Hell

“The decisions I made after that moment were not the ones she would have made. They were the choices of a changed person, a new self.

― Tara Westover, Educated

“False gods!” she cried, her blue eyes blazing as she stared at the Red King and the Lords of Outer Night. “Pretenders! Usurpers of truth! Destroyers of faith, of families, of lives, of children! For your crimes against the Mayans, against the peoples of the world, now will you answer! Your time has come! Face judgment Almighty!”
― Jim Butcher, Changes
