To show mercy is not naïve. To hold out against the end of hope is not stupidity or madness. It is fundamentally human. Of course... We are all doomed; we are all poisoned from our birth by the rot of stars. That does not mean we should succumb...to the seductive fallacy of despair, the dark tide that would drown us. You may think I'm stupid, you may call me a madman and a fool, but at least I stand upright in a fallen world.
Rick YanceyWe'd stared into the face of Death, and Death blinked first. You'd think that would make us feel brave and invincible. It didn't.
Rick YanceyYou never know when the truth will come home. You can't choose the time. The time chooses you.
