“As long as I hold it as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will.

I'm the one who allows it and I'm the one responsible.”
― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

“I was quiet, but I was not blind.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
