... when you know how actually the world works... you lose the illusion.

In our time, caution should be observed not only in words but also in thoughts.

For the artist's thoughts there are no limitations, neither time of day nor time, nor distance.

- Do you think that before the world was cleaner?
- That's exactly the word! Much cleaner. And less flawed, despite the fact that half the population died due to poor hygiene!

People have always needed myths about the bloodthirsty monsters to justify yourself...

My attitude to the death is not worse than their attitude to each other. I even kill them in a smaller scale than they want it for themselves. For all time of existence of the Golden OS I couldn't think of anything more cruel than invented people - mass murder, reservations, concentration camps, genocide, sadistic experiments...

People aren't always cruel and heartless. But evil has always been appealing to them because it is a very seductive mask of depravity and permissiveness, which many understand as freedom.
