“Survival," I said softly. "It's selfish, and it's dark, and we've always been a species willing to do anything to satisfy our needs. Individuals have morals. Mobs have appetites.”
― Rachel Caine, Total Eclipse

“Young people are moving away from feeling guilty about sleeping with somebody to feeling guilty if they are *not* sleeping with someone.”
― Margaret Mead

“Sounds naive respecting someone
who doesn't give a shit about you.”
― Toba Beta, Master of Stupidity

“Just because I do not accept the teachings of the devotaries does not mean I've discarded a belief in right and wrong."
"But the Almighty determines what is right!"

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
