“If 'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' stands as a symbol of the license granted to the Ismaili elite, then the unrelated subsidiary motto 'Omnia in numero et mensura' acquires an ultimately cautionary significance. All things within measure, nothing too much.”

“It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing, one loud noise, and its gone. But the people are so cowed and disorganised. A few might take the opportunity to protest, but it'll just be a voice crying in the wilderness. Noise is relative to the silence preceding it. The more absolute the hush, the more shocking the thunderclap. Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations, Evey and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.”
