Sofia Sartor:
You mentioned a creed before. What is it?

Ezio Auditore Da Firenze:
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Sofia Sartor:
That is rather cynical.

Ezio Auditore Da Firenze:
It would be if it were doctrine. But it is merely an observation on the nature of reality. To say that nothing is true is to realise that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions and that we must live with our consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing poisoning destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay... We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead.

One day, a little man went into a cafe in the North zone. He said, "I'd like a nice hot and sweet coffee." Then he added, "But I'm not paying because I'm not afraid of anyone." He drank his coffee. He left. He drank his coffee and he left without paying. The owner didn't say anything because he didn't want any trouble. But the man kept coming back, so the owner said, "I've had it!" "I'll get one of the big guys to beat him up if he does this again!" Sure enough, the fourth time the little man came back and said: "I'd like a nice hot and sweet coffee." The big guy said, "So, you're not afraid of anyone?" "No," said the little man. "Me neither," said the big guy. "So," said the little man, "Two nice hot and sweet coffees."
