    "The universe began with a word, you know. But which came first? The word, or the thought behind the word? You can't create language without thought, and you can't conceive a thought without language. So which created the other, and thus created the universe? No. I see you're far too wrapped up in your question to consider the larger issues."

But for the greater part to live, some must die, or be harmed in its defense, and yours. There is no other way."
