“Don't you know the man whose life you spare will always hate you?”

“It's what you do to yourself when you go mad with rage. You have no idea how much you can hurt yourself with your own strength.”

“The less people think of you, the more they will reveal to you or in your presence.”

“The best way is to be strong enough to make your enemy think twice about attacking you, yet not so aggressive that he feels threatened. Keep your sword sheathed as long as you can, but once it is unsheathed, use it without hesitation.”

“But just as the river is always at the door, so is the world always outside. And it is in the world that we have to live.”

“It's like a spell. It's so strong I can't fight it. Is love always like this?”

“Death comes suddenly and life is fragile and brief. No one can alter this either by prayers or spells.”
