It is boring to haunt a writer, and even more so to haunt a celebrity. I would haunt a literary figure! Possibly some superhero, maybe even James Bond. Constant adventures, fights, beautiful women--much more interesting that watching a writer who taps on computer all day long, or a celebrity posing in front of cameras.

Generally speaking, we can and should say everything. We just have to choose the right time, otherwise the truth can be worse than a lie.

We are our own gods and our own demons.

The common good and the individual good rarely coincide.

This was how you wound up in the Inquisition. When you stopped being able to see any difference between Light Ones and Dark Ones. When for you, people weren't even a flock of sheep, but just a handful of spiders in a glass jar. When you stopped believing in the future, and all you wanted to do was preserve the status quo. For yourself. For those few individuals who were still dear to you.

Ill-considered but well-intentioned actions do more good that actions that are well-considered but cruel.

That's the way it goes sometimes: in order to help your friends, first you have to help your enemy. Better get used to it.
