Elric knew that everything that existed had its opposite. In danger he might find peace. And yet, of course, in peace there was danger.

In a perfect world there would be no place for them. In an imperfect world the mysteries were always without solution and that was why there was always a great choice of solutions.

The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world.
