What's in a name?

One day all our names will be forgotten. All that will survive us is the love we felt.

Just as truth endures even when the languages used to speak it have passed from human knowledge, love remains.

This is the lesson of every legend, the meaning of every myth. This is the truth we knew in our mother's arms before we had even learned the words to say it.

So when evil stands smiling before us in the dock, and when asked his name, responds with an announcement of what he imagines is our doom, remember, his answer was already irrelevant before he opened his mouth to offer it.
