About This Quote
This quote is often used to describe the post-apocalyptic world that is often portrayed in stories. In the end, the heroine/hero must face down her/his own repressed personality and finally come to terms with their own cruelty. This quote, however, is also used to describe the world of celebrities where people are constantly being praised for being perfect or noble. Everyone is praised for being good, but no one ever has to face up to any of their shortcomings. They can simply be left alone to carry on with their lives without confrontation.
