“Here’s the thing about being around violence,” a person who encountered Aaron up in New England would say. “One time is bad luck. Two times, you have bad habits. Three times, you’re a goon. Violence is only around you so often by mistake.
“Without water drops, there can be no oceans; without steps, there can be no stairs; without little things, there can be no big things!”

“But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.

They will make him bear the sins of the world. But it's not true. You suspected what was happening, and so did I. It was already too late over a year ago. I caused a reporter to lose his job because you told me to. He was deported. The day I did that I made my little contribution to civilization, the only one that matters.”
