“Goodness is not its own reward in this world. Those who help are sometimes destroyed first”

“Helping others carries its own rewards, the first of which is a return to humanity.”

“The world is full of injustice, and those who profit by injustice are in a position to administer rewards and punishments. The rewards go to those who invent ingenious justifications for inequality, the punishments to those who try to remedy it.”

“Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them.”

“Let the Art be brought back only for the good of the world. If it isn the hand of one who would use it for ill, in that world or this, then it will be upon you to destroy it—though its end means your own life-long exile." —Young Waeglim”

“The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.”
