Animals do not do what they have done. Animals kill to eat, to defend themselves or their own, and to protect their territory. Not for the joy of it. Not for the lust of it...Only humans do that, wizard.

Heroism doesn't pay very well. I try to be cold-blooded and money-oriented, but I keep screwing it up.

Just like credit card companies, or those student loan people. Now there's evil for you.

Could a man's heart, his soul, perish and yet leave him walking and talking as if alive?
