You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer.
A Heretic may see the truth and seek redemption. He may be forgiven his past and will be absolved in death. A Traitor can never be forgiven. A Traitor will never find peace in this world or the next. There is nothing as wretched or as hated in all the world as a Traitor.
-The Book of Indoctrinations
The Demon has many forms. You must know them all. You must tell the Demon from his disguise and root him out from the hidden places. Trust no-one. trust not even yourself. It is better to die in vain than to live an abomination.
The zealous martyr is praised for his valour: the craven and the unready are justly abhorred.
-The Book of Indoctrinations
You get more with a kind word and an excruciator than with just a kind word.
