«Non prevedo nulla di buono per la vostra razza», disse cupo Zoltan Chivay. «A questo mondo ogni creatura intelligente che cada in povertà, in miseria e in disgrazia è abituata a unirsi ai propri simili, perché insieme è più facile resistere ai tempi difficili, perché ci si aiuta a vicenda. Invece tra voi umani ognuno bada solo a come guadagnare sulla miseria altrui. Quando c’è una carestia non si divide il cibo, ma si mangiano i più deboli. Un procedimento del genere si riscontra fra i lupi, permette di sopravvivere agli esemplari più sani e più forti. Ma tra le razze intelligenti di solito una simile selezione permette di sopravvivere e di dominare ai peggiori figli di puttana. Traete da soli conclusioni e previsioni.»

Proceder taki sprawdza się u wilków, pozwala przetrwać osobnikom najzdrowszym i najsilniejszym. Ale wśród ras rozumnych taka selekcja zazwyczaj pozwala przetrwać i dominować największym skurwysynom. Wnioski i prognozy wyciągnijcie sobie sami.

Yarpen Zigrin remained serious, looking intently and seemingly with concern at the boy. ‘Look, son,’ he said at last, very seriously. ‘Evangelina Parr is sitting at the bar. She is, one must admit, large. Why, even enormous. But in spite of her size, beyond all doubt, she isn’t a whore to end all whores.’ Turning into a narrow and deserted alley, Dennis Cranmer stopped. ‘I
