Think back to the oldest era your mind can fathom, back beyond everything we can remember, when gods were still men who had not yet lived the deeds that would deify them.

About This Quote

It is more than just the old age of civilization that has made us so cynical about human nature. It is the very beginning of time, when men were still gods. A time when they dared to do anything they wanted, for no reason at all. It was an era in which people lived in ignorance, and believed everything they were told.

No one dared to question a word spoken, for fear of causing a devastating war. But it is because of this era that we know everything we know today. In the beginning, men were gods, and they did not even realize it.
