“Far from being unnatural, as you call, it is commonplace when you have evil conditions. Poverty is more strong than morality. That’s another reason why for the world must submit to progress. Misery must be decreased before everyone will choke to death on it.”

“Dresden, who was a king as of the old age, swished his tail--just once. Then, deliberately, he turned to face the coming dogs. Every muscle stood out in stark relief. He roared.

Dresden charged them.”
― Scott Hawkins, The Library at Mount Char
