“The really unforgivable acts are committed by calm men in beautiful green silk rooms, who deal death wholesale, by the shipload, without lust, or anger, or desire, or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present — they are real.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Shards of Honour

“The deranged tended to live in segregated parts of town where their delusions would not be tainted and limited by the proximity of the solid beliefs of the pathetic sane.”
― Michael R. Fletcher, Beyond Redemption
