“Only let the material interests once get a firm footing, and they are bound to impose the conditions on which alone they can continue to exist.

A better justice will come afterwards. That's your ray of hope.”
― Joseph Conrad, Nostromo

“The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.”
