Of Phil's works, this is #4 on my list.

" You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe. You have to be with other people, he thought. In order to live at all. I mean before they came here I could stand it... But now it has changed. You can't go back, he th"

By saying this name I give up some sort of freedom. Worse than that, I betray my country (don't ask me how). I refuse, even though I am battered and bloody already myself. These people remind me of the replicants from Blade Runner. Incidentally I happen to be playing Harrison Ford's character from the movie. Th"
