"You are familiar with the custom of property ownership, yes? I have a thing, it is mine! You take it, it is still mine, yes? Why? Because I did not give it to you.

And if you are starving and use what you took to feed your belly? Is it still mine? No. Whatever you stole—food, money to buy food, silks to trade for food—it is inconsequential next to saving you from death!

You think we should work for our bread, yes? But many can't work. They're injured, sick, or just too hungry. The Hollow Moon gives them what they need.

Perhaps we're wrong to steal, but if the world were a more virtuous place we wouldn't need to."
