“It's not your fault there is evil in the world" Cadvan to Maerad”

“It's not your fault if you're considered holy in a corrupt world.”

“Even if it's not your fault, it's your responsibility.”

“Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.”

“Old friend,' said Cadvan, filling another glass for himself and sniffing its rich smell. 'If we do not trust one another, we are already defeated.”

“If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault.”
