{{quote|''When I write things like this I'm not advocating them. If I advocated everything I write, I wouldn't be able to write racist characters, murder or bullying – let alone all the killing my stories have. I write stories. I write conflict. I write villages [[RWBY|destroyed by Grimm]] and both men and women sometimes being bastards and using their influence to make other people's lives unhappy. I've written Mercury stealing a kiss from Ruby and Cinder seducing Jaune to use as nothing more than a sex toy (in Stress Relief), [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|and ironically people were fine with the latter but a kiss on the former is totally not okay]]. Anyway, me writing those things doesn't mean I go around bribing women to kiss me and then dragging innocent young men to bed. It just means I'm writing characters who aren't your typical goodies.''

{{quote|''There has appeared in our time a particular class of books and articles which I sincerely and solemnly think may be called the silliest ever known among men. They are much more wild than the wildest romances of chivalry and much more dull than the dullest religious tract. Moreover, the romances of chivalry were at least about chivalry; the religious tracts are about religion. But these things are about nothing; they are about what is called Success. One every bookstall, in every magazine, you may find works telling people how to succeed. They are books showing men how to succeed in everything; they are written by men who cannot even succeed in writing books.''

{{quote|<poem>My emotion I well can remember
O'er a "promise" that somewhere I'd seen
One night, away back in December
Anno Domini 1918.
Happy tears in my orbs began wellin'
As I read how the England-to-be
Would become a fit messuage to dwell in
For heroes like me.
 
Refreshed by an access of ardour
I returned to my business in town;
But, as life seemed each day to grow harder,
I despaired of its joy and its crown;
Till, fed up with a "tale" for poor Tommies,
My temper I finally lost,
And pronounced that oracular "promise"
A palpable frost.
 
But I've tumbled at last to my error;
For, although I am far from content,
I know that this era of terror
Is just what the Government meant;
When through England so bell-like and clear rose
That eager, that passionate vow;
Since none but a race of real heroes
Can live in it now.</poem>

{{quote|and Epimetheus is given a gift by the gods. And the gift he is given is Pandora. And everything's great until one day, she, out of curiosity or for whatever reason, smashes a jar that she has, in which all of the things that are bad, all of the things that make life hard, the way that the story is sometimes told, that remains, after all of the evils in the world have flown out into the world, is hope. I've never been quite sure how to interpret that, because you can think of hope as remaining as being this wonderful, pure, happy thing.

{{quote|“Why, of course, the people don’t want war,” Goering shrugged. “Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.”
“There is one difference,” I pointed out. “In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.”
“Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
