“Repressive societies always seemed to understand the danger of "wrong" ideas.”

“I'm not playing at all. When you treat everyone you meet as either an enemy or a pawn, you give others no choice but to hate or fear you. No one's strong forever. No matter how good a user you are, when you treat others like tools, you're setting yourself up for an endgame that inevitably leaves you outnumbered and alone, with no one but resentful pawns for backup. That doesn't sound like victory to me...This doesn't have to be a fight or a war or a game or any of those terrible dragon metaphors for life.”
