“Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”

“If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.”
