Emily St. John Mandel Quote

They call themselves the light.
What about it?
If you are the light, she said, then your enemies are darkness, right?
I suppose.
If you are the light, if your enemies are darkness, then there's nothing that you cannot justify. There's nothing you can't survive, because there's nothing that you will not do.
