“I cannot simply abandon a comrade”
“Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
“I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.”
“Everyone may be called "comrade," but some comrades have the power of life and death over other comrades.”
“A comrade who deserts a comrade is a cowardly dog, and all such dogs should die a dog's death, comrade -”
“We cannot abandon this rabbit hole for fear of a traumatic encounter with our own culture.”
