“By that which you kill are you bound.”

“Where there is no respect for life, there you will find evil.”

When she threw him a look, he grinned. " I also read it in the guidebook.”

“Those who rise first are morally superior. It's a universal law.”

“We considered behaving, but it's against our nature.”

“If you're betwixt and between, trust the one with red hair.”
