“It's so easy to become a grumbler, someone who condemns and carps at everything on principle and sees an ulterior motive behind it.”
“Everyone has an ulterior motive. Everyone wants something, and everyone is willing to do whatever they haveto in order to get it. Regardless of who winds up hurt in the process.”
“There are moments when the inner life actually 'pays,' when years of self-scrutiny, conducted for no ulterior motive, are suddenly of practical use.”
“Hello. (Serenity)I’ve killed over a hundred men. Half of them I kill for simply saying hello. (Ushakii)”
“...It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were.”
