- Absolutes, the Sith, Jedi, and Shades of Gray
- Obi-Wan Kenobi remonstrates Anakin Skywalker that “only the Sith deal in absolutes” and then goes on to call the Sith “evil”. The lesson of Star Wars is that there are absolutes.
- Don’t make me angry
- You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
- The Gods of the Copybook Headings
- Forget prosperity. Is terror and slaughter around the corner?
- I do not mourn the loss of evil
- Evil cannot drive out evil, but righteousness most certainly can. Spurious Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes won’t.
