You’d die to avenge your father. You’d live in anguish to spite your husband. Which is it? What becomes of you? My life is mine, and yours is yours. If you can’t see that, you’ll never be free of this prison.[to Mariko]
If you cheat, cheat death. If you steal, steal the heart of a woman. If you lie, lie in the everlasting warmth of her bosom. And if you drink, drink with me.
I have no lords. I left of my own accord. And this, this is what beckoned me. The horizon more than the deep. The freedom more than the horizon. The fair wind. To be far enough out that you look around and there’s nothing but open seas. No yesterday. No tomorrow.[to Mariko]
I didn’t come all this way around the world just to die on a cross.
