“But what does a mirror know? What can it show us of ourselves? Oh, it might reveal a few scars, and perhaps a glimpse—there, in the eyes—of our true nature. The spirit beneath the skin. Yet the deepest scars are often hidden, and though a mirror might reveal our weakness, it reflects only a fraction of our strength.”
― Nicholas Eames, Kings of the Wyld

“Why be ashamed?", her mother always said. If people don't like you, it's their problem. Don't make yourself suffer for it. "Fuck em," she'd always said. "You'll find enough folk want you to suffer. There's no need to help the bastards.”
― Joe Abercrombie, The Devils
