“Life is not a story you can tell, de léon. It’s only a story you can live. The bright news is, you get to choose what kind yours will be. A story of horror, or a story of courage. A story of indulgence, or a story of duty. The story of a monster. Or the story of a man. What will your story be?”

― Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Damned
