"in our rush to the top, we fell from the high pedestal of our ancestors and we grovel in the muck without knowing or caring how low we have fallen. we traded honor for favor, integrity for position, truth for fame. and in the process, we demolished delicadeza."

"You see, evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction. It is ultimately negative, and therefore encompasses its downfall even at its moments of apparent triumph. No matter how grandiose, how well-planned, how apparently foolproof an evil plan, the inherent sinfulness will by definition rebound upon its instigators. No matter how apparently successful it may seem upon the way, at the end it will wreck itself. It will founder upon the rocks of iniquity and sink headfirst to vanish without trace into the seas of oblivion."
