• There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair.

  J. Michael Straczynski

They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.

  Terry Pratchett
