"It's the truth. And the thing is, death doesn't stop people from hurting others, or from suffering hurt themselves. The only thing that ends with death is the ability to grow, to change. All you are after you die is the shadow of what you were in life. And a violent death... it can make even good people into angry spirits, violent spirits. Small children can become shades demanding vengeance, if the circumstances are right. Life is the road to the betterment of the species."
