❛ I will hurt you for this. I don’t know how yet, but give me time. ❜ ❛ People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it’s served up. ❜ ❛ There’s no shame in fear, my father told me, what matters is how we face it. ❜ ❛ He who hurries through life hurries to his grave. ❜ ❛ I want to be comforted. I’m so tired of being strong. ❜ ❛ I am growing strangely fond of you. ❜ ❛ Those are brave men… lets go kill them. ❜ ❛ How can you still count yourself a knight, when you have forsaken every vow you ever swore? ❜ ❛ The unseen enemy is always the most fearsome. ❜ ❛ You’re awful. ❜ ❛ I’m honest. It’s the world that’s awful.❜ ❛ Great wrongs have been done you, but the past is dust. The future may yet be won. ❜ ❛ How odd. I think quite the same of you.❜ ❛ Was there ever a war where only one side bled? ❜ ❛ Will holding a secret in your heart make it any less true? ❜ ❛ If there are gods, why is the world so full of pain and injustice? ❜ ❛ Courage and folly are cousins, or so I’ve heard. ❜ ❛ Schemes are like fruit, they require a certain ripening. ❜ ❛ Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same. ❜ ❛ It is not what we do, so much as why we do it. ❜ ❛ There are ghosts everywhere. We carry them with us wherever we go. ❜
