“I know what I want and what I don’t want. I’ve never wanted sex. Never. I’ve never understood why it has to be in every book and movie and television show ever made.

“There's no point to revenge. You either don't get it, in which case the want grows until it collapses your world around you, or you do get it. And then you have it. Great. Show me something you can build from revenge that you can't build from acceptance.”

“When you where a kid, black robes and jagged armor made you evil. That was how you told the good from the bad.

Evil wasn't a cliff you fell from. It was a stair case you climbed.”
