Susan Cooper Quote

The mindless ferocity of this man, and all those like him, their real loathing born of nothing more solid than insecurity and fear... It was a channel. Will knew that he had been gazing into the channel down which the powers of the Dark, if they gained their freedom, could ride in an instant to complete control of the earth.
