This guy is a total fucking prick. I know I've said that before. Still. I would have taken great pleasure in strangling him in that moment, if that was something I was capable of. And I'm not even that violent.

It was just a really grim-looking building, ... It looks brighter over there already.

No sign, so far, of anything sinister—but I live in hope.

I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

It is a grim picture.
