“There are those who'll turn innocent occasions to their advantage.”

“Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.”

“Always the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now.”

“If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight.”

“If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.”

“I must admit, Peter, I have difficulty in understanding why an innocent man would want to spend twelve years as a rat.”

“Enter, stranger, but take heedOf what awaits the sin of greed,For those who take, but do not earn,Must pay most dearly in their turn,So if you seek beneath our floorsA treasure that was never yours,Thief, you have been warned, bewareOf finding more than treasure there.”
