Jay Kristoff Quotes

The Truth Is, The Abyss Lives In Us. In Our Greed. In The Way We Look At Things Different To Us, And See Things Lesser. In The Way We See The Smaller, Or The Weaker, And Think Them Prey.

It Begins With The Beasts Of The Land, The Birds Of The Sky. And In A Blinking, We Find Ourselves Seeing Our Lessers In People With Different Colored Skins. Different Gods. Different Creeds. We See Them As Lessers, And We Hurt, And We Kill, And We Think Nothing Of It. Because They Are Different, We Think Ourselves Just. Because We Are Stronger, We Think Ourselves Righteous.

That Is The Abyss In All Of Us. And We Stand Close To The Edge Still. Closer Than Any Can Dream. We Need But Stray For A Moment And We Will Find Ourselves Back Again, Staring Down Into That Black. And Who Will Save Us? When Everything That Was Different To Us Is Already Gone?
