“But Paris was different. You couldn't just set out on a nice little looting expedition with a pistol in your hand and a sword at your side, just as you pleased, with no danger from the law. He had all the instincts of an N.C.O. let loose in a conquered country.”

“If you want happiness for an hour—take a nap. For a day—go fishing. For a month—get married. For a year—inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime—help someone else.”

“For decades now, Americans had been subjected to careful social engineering designed to make them fearful. Because without fear a man might stand up, claim his divine spark, steal fire from the gods, and slug it out with the angels. Like Bigman had said, fearlessness made men difficult to govern.”

“If you want to break down a body from the outside, you can do it in three ways. One: overwhelm it with something really powerful. Two: weaken its defences by giving it nothing to fight against, like washing all germs away, for a generation. Or three: use a targeted disease that makes the immune system go into overdrive, burn itself into an auto-immune disease and destroy the body itself. The third is sort of what Al-Qaeda tried with 9-11 or what we did with some of the covid lockdowns.”
