Quotes
‘All possible cruelties are inevitable. Every conceivable crime has been committed.’

Explanations strive to find weakness, and from the exploitation of weakness comes compliance and the potential of absolute surrender.’ So Andarist had written, long ago, in a treatise entitled Combat and Negotiation. - (TtH- UK pb P85)
