"What good is there in this arbitrary world? Why am I Evil and you Good? If not by me, then what unworthy god chose to maketh sinful hubris and virtuous humility? Who maketh chastity righteous and lust vile? My brother, why is sadism bad and mercy good? If not a satisfying answer there is, then what recourse have I but end this world and remake it for myself? For I want to live such that all my desires, lust and greed– boundless pride and my penchant for torturing the weak are virtue, and you brother… you will be the one who must live always branded as Evil."
Pandemonium the Black to his primordial brother, Ankhamet the White.

"I witness nothing arbitrary in the world, brother. There is right, and there is wrong. Good and Evil. All know it. They can see and understand it from before a boy becomes a man. The law of the world exists that all things are earned and squandered each by their own merits or faults. It is not upon an entitled lord by which apportioned the fates to man, but one who labored before time existed that maketh the bosom to which he now lay. I cannot satisfy you with my answer, brother. For the answer doth not exist to appease thy temper, or thy appetites. You are Evil, brother. But it is not so because of nature, nor God's architecture. You are so by action and will, and thus shall you be until so seeth you to correct your portions, and your appetites. I forgive you, brother."
Ankhamet the White to his primordial brother, Pandemonium the Black.
