“I imagine the game wouldn’t be the same in the light,” Scarlett answered. “People think no one sees all the nasty things they do in the dark. The foul acts they commit, or the lies they tell as part of the game. Caraval takes place at night because you like to watch, and see what people do when they think there are no consequences.”
Stephanie Garber, Caraval

Robert Greene
“Power is a game, and in games you do not judge your opponents by their intentions but by the effects of their actions.”
Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power
