“You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.”

“But the overwhelming number of mothers who think they have too little milk have babies who are taking plenty of milk and are gaining weight well. These mothers have based their conclusions on misinformation or a misinterpretation of their babies' behavior.”

“They say that even of a good thing you can have too much. But I doubt it. True, such good things as sunbathing, beer, and tobacco may be intemperately pursued to the detriment of their devotees; yet, to my mind, one cannot have too much of a good murder.”

“There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.”

“Evil is powerful, but good is more powerful. In fact, evil is so powerful that only good has the power to overcome evil. Darkness can be driven away only by light.”

“Rohan, if being a hero is having the courage to resist using power arbitrarily, then you are a hero, beloved.”
