Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

There was a legend about how Sebatians once had a god called Tankebrue. Six worlds prayed to her. They built her temples, conquered worlds, and yet one day, she still went off and destroyed all six worlds. And when the last warrior was dying, he said, "We gave you everything; why did you destroy us?" And she looked down upon him and she whispered, "Because I can."

Sophie only likes to be in pictures
if she can turn her face away.
(She thinks she looks best like this.)
Perhaps it makes her feel coy or sophisticated.
We all have these kinds of ideas.
Once, only once, she looked right at me,
through the camera, and into my eyes.
I could tell she was sorry afterwards.
Since then, though, I have waited with child-like faith to catch her looking.
She needs to know that she is beautiful,
that her face (her whole face) is beautiful.
I tell her almost every day.
But no one can make Sophie listen.
She just laughs
and turns her head away.

"Now you will receive us! We do not ask for your poor or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood until it rains down from the skies. Do not kill; do not rape; do not steal. These are principles which every man, of every faith, can embrace. These are not polite suggestions; these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil; we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. But if you do, one day you will look behind you and see we three, and on that day you will reap it."

~~The McManus Brothers, from *The Boondock Saints*

"Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs. That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory and shows of flags and well-oiled guns."

~~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., from _Cat's Cradle_
