" You’re so eager to believe in people’s goodness, aren’t you?” Davin hit me with an icy gaze. “So let me give you a word of advice. The good in people doesn’t mean a damned thing when what they love most is in peril. They will do anything and everything to save it, believing in their own nobility all the while. "
