All my life… I’ve been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come, it’s not near as terrible as I’d expected. The sun still shines. Water still tastes good. Glory is all well and good but… life is enough, nay?
The best way to defeat an enemy is to make him a friend.
It’s okay to fall, to make mistakes. I’ve made lots. It’s how you become a cantankerous old sorcerer. The trick is to embrace your defeats as well as your victories. You pay for both in the end.[to Elora]
Impatience for victory will guarantee defeat.
I know one thing about a person. A person can be defeated.
I have a vision of total victory and nothing else. It’s the reason I’ve gotten this far. Defeat has no place in my mind.
Even if I throw it again, I still wouldn’t be able to win. Just let me lose this thing in style.[to Sae-byeok][나 다시 던져도 너 못 이겨. 아, 그냥 좀 멋있게 좀 지게 해 줘라.]
Did you truly think that you could defeat me? You have failed, Master.[to Obi-Wan]
Dead men, dragons, and dragon queens. Whatever stands in our way, we will defeat it.
Always after a defeat, the shadow takes another shape and grows again.
