      A beggar's mistake harms no one but the beggar. A king's mistake, however, harms everyone but the king. Too often, the measure of power lies not in the number who obey your will,  but in the number who suffer for your stupidity.
 --Scott Bakker, the Judging Eye
 
 His books have quotes like this at the beginning of every chapter, part of why I love them.
 Cold silence has a tendencyto atrophy any sense of compassion
 between supposed lovers.
 Between supposed brothers.
