Light Has Weight, but Darkness Does Not (Nameless: Season Two #4)

by Dean Koontz

grossly evil people or very stupid people—or evil stupid people—are in charge of almost everything, and the good smart people are afraid to oppose them because the evil people are vicious and the stupid people are too clueless to see where all this is going, and the people who are both evil and stupid, well, they’re the worst of all.

Wishing another person dead doesn’t make your own life any longer; it just makes it meaner.

those who believe in nothing for long enough will eventually believe in anything.

Most people satisfy themselves by strongly opposing little evils, like hurtful words and unpopular ideas and gluttony, where the risk of angering violent people is low.

the world is a library and every person in it is an entire shelf of stories.
