$quote {
The universe is a dark forest.
Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost,
gently pushing aside branches that block the path
and trying to tread without sound.
Even breathing is done with care.
The hunter has to be careful,
because everywhere in the forest are stealthy hunters like him.
If he finds other life, another hunter, an angel or a demon,
a delicate infant or a tottering old man, a fairy or a demigod
there's only one thing he can do: open fire and eliminate them.
In this forest, hell is other people.

There are only two kinds of people in the end:
those who say to God,
"Thy will be done,"
and those to whom God says, in the end,
"Thy will be done."
All that are in Hell, choose it.
Without that self-choice there could be no Hell.
No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it.
Those who seek find.
Those who knock it is opened.

I know the evil of my ancestors because I am those people.
The balance is delicate in the extreme.
I know that few of you who read my words
have ever thought about your ancestors this way.
It has not occurred to you that your ancestors were survivors
and that the survival itself sometimes involved savage decisions,
a kind of wanton brutality which civilized humankind works very hard to suppress.
What price will you pay for that suppression?
Will you accept your own extinction?

Hey, God! I hope you're there.
I want you to hear my prayer.
That graven image on my shelf;
Is it really you or just myself?
Well, anyway, here it goes:
Please keep me on my toes.
Help me past my worst mistakes,
Doing it for both our sakes,
For an example of perfection
To the Proctors of my section;
Or merely for the Heaven of it,
Like bread, for the leaven of it.
For whatever reason may incline,
Please act for yours and mine.

Well, you see, Willard, in this war, things get confused out there.
Power, ideals, the old morality, and practical military necessity.
But out there with these natives, it must be a temptation to be God.
Because there's a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and irration,
between good and evil. And good does not always triumph.
Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature.
-General Corman, Apocalypse Now
