    I get far too much use out of this quote

    Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

      God I love DE. After everything went down, there was something kind of bittersweet about reading the fan translations of A Sacred and Terrible Air. Gave me the same sense of finality as finishing NITW or Hotline Miami 2. A total aberration, an emotional high never to be upped or repeated - for better and worse.
