“You’ve got on a white coat. (Ephani) Awesome cognitive powers you have there. (Alexion)”

“You don’t trust any man, Ephani. (Danger)And neither should you, little sister. Take a bit of Amazon advice. Ride him into the ground all night long, then slide a blade between his ribs come morning. (Ephani) That's harsh. (Alexion)So is life. (Ephani)”

Instead of coddling the child, you set them back on their feet and let them try again. They have to stumble before they can run.

(Danger)And yet the most beautiful of the lotus flowers are the ones that grow in the deepest mud. (Alexion)”

“You’ve got to be kidding me. I thought you were the most powerful of beings. Even the gods fear you. (Stryker)We all have predators. The entire universe exists in a system of checks and balances.

(Stryker)”

“A flower can't grow without rain. (Alexion)Too much rain and it drowns. (Danger)And yet the most beautiful of the lotus flowers are the ones that grow in the deepest mud. (Alexion)”

“Don’t ask me any more questions, Keller. I’m just going to lie to you and I’d rather not have the stress of trying to remember what lie I handed you. (Alexion)”
