Adversary Quote by Harry Lang
““They’re determined to go some other way, to make their own path, as if such a thing is possible. Problem is that very impulse blinds them to all warnings and wisdom. They think there’s something bigger for them, something that’ll put them out ahead of the rest of us. They won’t acknowledge that everybody is under somebody and the only thing you get to choose is which master you’ll serve and this makes them ripe for the adversary.””
