"[Yiânte] tells us to imagine a game conceived by a fallen angel wherein one newly selected man or woman (The "Participant") is tortured for thirty minutes every hour. You, an innocent bystander, are stationed before a switch that can at any moment be used to end this game. Doing this, though, will grant the current or most recently selected participant an additional thirty minutes of torture.

"Supposing that to cause harm is always immoral, at what point would you activate the switch, if ever?"

—Pâsqai, "Yiânte's Angel" (From Classical Thought )

"When someone dies of an incurable disease, it's a tragedy. Yet when they live for even a day longer everyone sheds tears for their suffering."

"Running in circles gets you nowhere but the start of the trail."

—Mauyallan Proverb

"If you count from zero to nine, have you not already read everything from one to infinity?"

"Indeed, could it not be said that a forgotten past is no different from an unknown future? If an apple placed in a box is forgotten, then whose right is it to say that a pear may not be drawn forth? In much the same way, has a forgotten tragedy truly occurred?

"Though of course, the impact of such a tragedy could never be truly forgotten. A broken heart is broken, even if none remember from where the cracks came."

—Anka Ynro, On Glass Mountains
