Don’t throw it away just because you’re angry at some bitch in red and grey. What would your father think of that? If you want to stop her, change the country.

You are a Kingman, and sacrificing your life would be pointless and cowardly. Do you understand me? Or should I explain it again?”
― Nick Martell, The Kingdom of Liars

“We can only live by the light we're given, and some of us are given no light at all. What else can we do except learn to see in the dark?”
