But who is to say who is helpless, and who is strong?" .........."If you seek the power to alter fate, you must also bear responsibility for the consequences. For you cannot change the fate of only one being; all fates are intertwined." "I performed the task," I protest. "I did what you bid me do." "You defended the weak from the strong."

“You can't pick and choose which types of freedom you want to defend. You must defend all of it or be against all of it.”
“I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.”
“Fate controls only the weak, Your Highness. The strong mould the providence the want”
