The Dark Wizard of Donkerk Quotes

“I think that the mark of a good society is that it’s easy to make good decisions and difficult to make bad ones. If the path of least resistance is good, then most people are going to be good. If the path of least resistance is bad, then most people are going to be bad. So … I think that if you’re asking me how evil the average person is, the real question ends up being how evil the world is. Society is only a part of it really, because there are a lot of things that society isn’t even responsible for. Is the world set up for us to be good or bad? Something like that.”

“Opinions are easy,” said Henry with a shrug. “So long as I know anything at all about a topic, I’m going to have an opinion. Sometimes that opinion is going to be wrong, but one of the great things about opinions is that you can change them. And if you share your opinions, you’re much more likely to come across someone who disagrees with you and can help you to be less wrong, which is why I give my opinions so freely. Maybe the oathkeepers are nothing like what I imagine them to be. Maybe the small number of them I’ve met aren’t representative of the whole. I don’t think it’s out of the question that I might meet an oathkeeper who’s spent decades studying all of the same things that I’ve thought of and stands ready to demolish me in a debate. So long as I don’t start thinking of my opinions as something sacred, there’s no harm in them. So no, there’s nothing that I can think of that I don’t have an opinion on.”
