Hotel of Strangers - Bill Reed - Bog

"You've missed the point... Men like me have to do what we do, which is to poke and prod at the lazy amongst us. It is in our nature to be compelled to take our shots. If what has been is somehow correct and inescapable because it is actual history, then you and I have never had control of our own destiny, let alone that of the planet of men. And nothing was ever wrong - merely because it happened. That is weak substance for mankind's hope."-- From: The Assassin
