A SONG OF SHADOWS

What would your good do if evil
didn't exist, and what would the 
Earth look like if all the shadows
disappeared?
                              - Mikhail Bulgakov
                                 The Master and Margarita



She had confronted Barbie during the pretrial proceedings-
What the French call  I'nstruction-  and when he was asked
if he recognized her, he said "When you have been in prison
for seven months it's always agreeable to see a desirable woman.'
When Simone Lagrange said that remark insulted her, he said; "The
trouble with you is you can't take a joke,"
                                   - Former Gestapo Chief Klaus Barbe
                                                                   "The Butcher of Lyons"



There is no reason why good cannot triumph
over Evil.  The triumph of anything is a matter
of organization.  If there are such things as Angels,
I hope that they are organized along the lines of
the Mafia.
                            - Kurt Vonnegut,  "The Sirens of Titan"



Had I turned into a Soulless person,
a wicked man,  a murderer? I went on plying
my conscience with questions.  Had I done anything in the War
but my duty and my obligations?  Had I done anything but
remain loyal to my Oath and obedient to my Orders?
And my conscience answered me reassuringly. NO, nothing
else.  Had I killed defenseless people, or order them to be
killed? NO, NO, NO. What in the Devil's name did they
want of me?

[We] will pursue them to the uttermost ends of the Earth
and will deliver them to their accusers in order that
Justice may be done.
