"This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be
other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be
based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers.
We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can
oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers.."
- William S. Burroughs
