"I'd say 'mortals' but I've had enough direct experience to realize that even the gods are blatantly flawed in ways that are unpleasant to contemplate." No exaggeration, from a man who had been working to sabotage a divine plan to destroy the world. "The honest truth is that 'good' and 'evil' are absolutes, nothing -- and I mean nothing that has the slightest scrap of intelligence or free will can attain that absolute. There's always some shade of grey. That's life, no matter where you are."
