“Rage was sometimes a useful ally in the heat of a fight, but it was a trickster. It made everything seem possible.”
“Never go easy on allies if you ahve to take them down. Especially allies. You’re already fighting the urge not to hurt them. Counteract that and hit them with everything you’ve got.”
“Everything seems impossible And everything seems possible.”
“Everything must be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.”
“Not everything made you stronger. It was possible to survive, yet still be crippled for your trouble. Sometimes it was okay to run away, to skip the test, to chicken out. Or at least to get some help.”
“Sometimes it’s possible to do everything right and still fail.”
