Children are taught to fear and obey the avarice, pride, or timidity of parents teaches children economy, arrogance, or submission. They are also encouraged to be imitators, a course to which they are already only too much inclined. No one thinks of making them original, courageous, independent.

George R. R. Martin

Is Satan not respectable because of his unprecedented and divinely inspired sin?

I am begining to look more and more like my miserable imitators.
