We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching.

Mormon Mother: Just mangled guts pretending.
Harper: That's how people change. — Tony Kushner

Intellectual freedom is essential -- freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices.

There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of. The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends.

I’ve sought it out. Such is my punishment. — Joe Abercrombie
If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice.
