Drinking beer in a children's playground is an old Soviet tradition.

Love is happiness, but only when you believe it will last forever. Even though every time it turns out to be a lie, it’s only faith that gives love its strength and its joy.

That's the hardest thing of all--never to become cynical, never to lose faith, never to become indifferent.

How easily the truth is lost, and how persistent lies are.

If you have love in you, it's a strength. But if you are in love, it's a weakness.

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.

Evil has no need to bother with eliminating Good. It's far simpler to let Good fight against itself.
