“Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced that I am yours. I will be it.”
― Captain Flint

“But I cannot believe that there is all there is. I cannot believe that we are so poorly made as that.”

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“This is how they survive. You must know this. You're too smart not to know this.
They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it.

All this will be for nothing. We will have been for nothing. Defined by their histories... distorted to fit into their narrative... until all that is left of us are the monsters in the stories they tell their children.”
― Captain Flint
