“If I’m going to die, I’d rather die in battle than be hunted down like a rat.”

“So eager to die are you? (Zakar)Not particularly, but I’d rather go down clubbing Kessar than from boredom. (Kat)”

“It’s just that I’d rather die of drink than of thirst.”

“one had better die fighting against injustice than to die like a dog or a rat in a trap”

“My biggest fear in life is to exist without living. I’m not quite sure what I mean by that but I’d rather die than just plod along without a map. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’ve got everything worked out. Admittedly I’m not sure where I’m going, but I’m determined to get there all the same.”

“I can’t let you die!” I sobbed. “It’ll be like I’m dead anyways without you. Since I left, that’s what it’s felt like—like some part of me died because I couldn’t be with you, couldn’t see you. I’d rather die knowing it was for your freedom.”
