And your mind will punish you for believing both.”

“So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”

“Stories don't always have happy endings."
This stopped him. Because they didn't, did they? That's one thing the monster had definitely taught him. Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.”
