Time is the greatest of all warriors. What it doesn’t destroy, it alters beyond recognition.
A man who never loves gives no hostage to fortune.
Technology advances, but humans don’t. We’re smart monkeys, and what we want is always the same. Food, shelter, sex, and in all its forms, escape.
What we believe shapes who we are. Belief can bring us salvation or destruction. But when you believe a lie for too long, the truth doesn’t set you free. It tears you apart.
Peace is an illusion. And no matter how tranquil the world seems, peace doesn’t last long. Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle, and sinew of our own innate savagery.

We’re all broken. There’s nothing more human than that.[to Poe]
We tell ourselves this is progress. Selling each other the fruits of our destruction.
The danger of living too many times: you forget to fear death.
Some people just need killing.
When the victors rewrite history, it’s just another kind of war, waged after the battlefield killing is done, to murder the memory of the defeated.
Sometimes, belief isn’t about what we can see. It’s about what we can’t.
