John’s Quotes

“Greed does not rest until it is satisfied, and greed is never satisfied”
― Sam Eastland, Eye of the Red Tsar

“Some people thirst for fame. They will do anything to have it. They will betray anyone. They will humiliate themselves and those around them. To be hated or loved makes no difference to them. What they want is to be known. Is is a sad addiction, and such people wallow in it all their lives, like pigs in filth.”
― Sam Eastland, Eye of the Red Tsar
