Steve ToltzGiven the way the system was, what could I do as I one person, other than devote my life to fighting to make it different?

The future does not belong to the evangelicals. The future does not belong to religion.
Bill MaherViolence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesnโt murder murder. Violence may murder the liar, but it doesnโt murder lie; it doesnโt establish truth. Violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesnโt murder dishonesty. Violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesnโt murder hate. It may increase hate. It is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. This is the ultimate weakness of violence: It multiplies evil and violence in the universe. It doesnโt solve any problems.

But I'm also obsessed with becoming a pop star.
GrimesI think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are.

When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished.

Matt TaibbiIt's easy to respond to the hate cries, usually carefully wrapped up in a flag. Perhaps hate is the greatest simplifier of them all.
