“If you see a runaway cart hurtling down a busy street, it's not enough just to bandage the people it runs down. You need to shove a spoke in the wheel to stop it altogether. I've counted the cost, and that's what I want to be. A spoke in the wheel.”

“All I want is revenge.”

“Like as a huntsman after weary chase,
Seeing the game from him escap'd away,
Sits down to rest him in some shady place,
With panting hounds beguilèd of their prey:
So after long pursuit and vain assay,
When I all weary had the chase forsook,
The gentle deer return'd the self-same way,
Thinking to quench her thirst at the next brook.
There she beholding me with milder look,
Sought not to fly, but fearless still did bide:
Till I in hand her yet half trembling took,
And with her own goodwill preserv'd her tide.
Strange thing me seem'd to see a beast so wild,
So goodly won with her own will beguil'd.”
