Dark Quote by William Brodrick
““Ultimately, that’s what evil is . . . it’s something bad without an explanation. Which is why it’s terrifying. And as for mercy in the dark – well, what is salvation if not a light greater than all the shadows, something good which cannot be explained? It, too, can be terrifying. I doubt if men like Otto Brack, would dare look in its direction.””
