“Humans need fantasy to be human. Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act, like there was some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged: Yes. But people have got to believe that or what's the point? My point exactly.”
Terry Pratchett
“Truth is respect for reality. Don't disrespect reality.”

“All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope”
Winston Churchill
“I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits that strict justice.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Children are innocent and love justice, while most adults are wicked and prefer mercy.”
G. K. Chesterton
