“Horror movies...odd how they became a guideline for survival.”
“Efficiency is doing the thing right. Effectiveness is doing the right thing.”
“Survival," I said softly. "It's selfish, and it's dark, and we've always been a species willing to do anything to satisfy our needs. Individuals have morals. Mobs have appetites.”
