I have been much feared and hated in my life. By my people, by yours. These marks mean I was a slave trader. It is my sin to live with. But in this house I have found kindness among the unkind.
I don’t want to be afraid of being alive.
I don’t think that order comes from fear. It comes from providing people with a decent quality of life.

I always wondered what your greatest fear would be. Now I have seen it. It’s not that no one will hear you. It’s that they’ll hear you, and just won’t care.[to Valya]

Fear rules. Not kings and queens.[to Tip]
Fear not old prophecies. We defy them. We make our own heaven and our own hell.
