Steven Erikson Quotes
Cultures Tend To Invite The Dominance Of One Over The Other, As A Means By Which An Individual Succeeds And Advances Or, Conversely, Fails And Falls. A Culture Dominated By Attackers - And One In Which The Qualities Of Attacking Are Admired, Often Overtly Encouraged - Tends To Breed People With A Thick Skin, Which Nonetheless Still Serves To Protect A Most Brittle Self. Thus The Wounds Bleed But Stay Well Hidden Beneath The Surface. Cultures Favouring The Defender Promote Thin Skin And Quickness To Take Offence - Its Own Kind Of Aggression, I Am Sure You See. The Culture Of Attackers Seeks Submission And Demands Evidence Of That Submission As Proof Of Superiority Over The Subdued. The Culture Of Defenders Seeks Compliance Through Conformity, Punishing Dissenters And So Gaining The Smug Superiority Of Enforcing Silence, And From Silence, Complicity.
