Tony Curtis

When apparent stability disintegrates, As it must-God is Change-People tend to give in. To fear and depression, To need and greed. When no influence is strong enough. To unify people. They divide.

They kill and kill and kill, Until they are exhausted and destroyed, Until they are conquered by outside forces, Or until one of them... Octavia Butler
