Max Gladstone Quotes
You Wander Through This City, And Wonder If Anything You Do Will Make Up For The Horror That Keeps The World Turning. To Live, You Rip Your Own Heart From Your Chest And Hide It In A Box Somewhere, Along With Everything You Ever Learned About Justice, Compassion, Mercy. You Throw Yourself Into Games To Mark The Time. And If You Yearn For Something Different: What Would You Change? Would You Bring Back The Blood, The Dying Cries, The Sucking Chest Wounds? The Constant War? So We're Caught Between Two Poles Of Hypocrisy. We Sacrifice Our Right To Think Of Ourselves As Good People, Our Right To Think Our Life Is Good, Our City Is Just. And So We And Our City Both Survive.
