Danger Quote by Charles Williams
““I hope you still think that ideas are more dangerous than material thing," Quentin said. "That is what you were arguing at lunch." Anthony pondered while glancing from side to side before he answered, "Yes, I do. All material danger is limited, whereas interior danger is unlimited. It's more dangerous for you to hate than kill, isn't it?””
