Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.

To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost

Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after
All your enemies are eliminated. Until then, everyone
You love is a hostage, sapping your courage
And corrupting your judgment.
