"But why must they all die?" he asked. "Why not just the State? Why not just the tyrants, the despots, the bullies who are in power and use that power to inflict pain and slavery on others -- ?"
"Because they are all the same," said Pitts. "No matter who is in power, it is always the same. Six thousand years of recorded history have proven that."
Taggart looked at the ground in silence. He could think of no answer. He was wounded and tired and he had not slept for days. Yet, he had to think. Pitts was partly right -- history was full of men who had used power to crush and debase others in every way imaginable, and their influence down the centuries had finally culminated in the Pan-Occidentia state. But had it really been as inevitable as Pitts claimed? And if the Zarr were actually to master time as well as space, why could not the history of the human race be changed to avoid this fate rather than wiped out utterly? . . .
His weariness suddenly increased tenfold as he realized the magnitude of the task he faced -- the greatest task, perhaps, that had ever confronted any human being. If the human race was to be saved now, he would have to do it.
