She did not know what it was about him that had always made her want to see him broken.

Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. Your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. Your head is high, but our brothers cringe.

The more you learn, the more you know that you know nothing.

I will not die, it's the world that will end." paraphrase of unknown philosopher
