“Humanity's savageness is what makes it civilized. Technology, trade, computers, space travel. All are products of competition and conflict.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Blind risk is stupid, but calculated risks are worth taking.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Every time there was conquest, it brought trade, new ideas, and inventions. They made civilization evolve to new heights. Humans soar on the wings of our violent nature. There's no other way.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Hatred. Some people get filled with it and explode. If they survive, they move on. Others just let it dribble out over the years, like a leaky bucket. One day they notice the bucket is empty, and they wonder what had been in it in the first place. Still others use hatred as a weapon, going so far as to pass it on to others—an ugly, unwanted gift disguised as a virtuous heirloom.”
― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords
