“I almost let him die. I did. I’m not proud of that now. It was a mistake. But when all you can think of is revenge, you don’t think straight. I haven’t for a long time. I’ve plotted and manipulated and stolen to get what I want, and it’s cost me everything. When I lost my mother, I lost a bit of myself to the hatred. It clouded my judgment. I couldn’t think straight anymore, and I lost both my father and brother because of it. I lost the love of my life. I lost the respect of my fellow Bloods. I lost control over you. By using deception to get my revenge, I lost everything, Kara. I lost everything that ever used to matter to me. - Blood Gavin”

“He left the next morning, searching for a city with light that reminded him of me. He would mail me empty envelopes and boxes, I would take them into my closet, shut the door, and quickly open them. A flash of foreign light would fill the room, but only for a moment. I would whisper ‘this is what we’re like, this is what we’re like.’…”

“مجویید در من ز شادی نشانه
من و تا ابد این غم جاودانه
من آن قصه تلخ درد آفرینم
که دیگر نپرسند از من نشانه
نجوید مرا چشم افسانه جویی
نگوید مرا ، قصه گوی زمانه
من آن مرغ غمگین تنها نشینم
که دیگر ندارم هوای ترانه
ربودند جفت مرا از کنارم
شکستند بال مرا ، بی بهانه
▄ ▄ ▄
من آن تک درختم که دژخیم پاییز
چنان کوفته بر تنم تازیانه
که خفته است در من فروغ جوانی
که مرده است در من امید جوانه
نه دست بهاری نوازد تنم را
نه مرغی به شاخم کند ، آشیانه
من آن بی کرانِ کویرم که در من
نیفشاده جز دست اندوه* ، دانه
چه می پرسی از قصّه ی غصّه هایم ؟
که از من تو را خود همین بس فسانه
که من دشت خشکم که در من نشسته است
کران تا کران ، حسرتی بی کرانه”

“The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist”
