    Tom Hiddleston
    It’s in our nature to want to watch our human frailties played out on a huge, epic canvas. Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama: fathers and sons, star-crossed lovers, warring brothers, martyred heroes. Tales that taught us the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility. It’s the everyday stuff of everyman’s life, but it’s writ large, and we love it.
    Tom Hiddleston

    J.C. Marino
    Small men command the letter of the law. Great men serve its spirit. For the spirit of the law is justice... and justice is the spirit of God.
    J.C. Marino, Dante's Journey
