When you don't know what to do, do what's right and do what's in front of you. But not necessarily what's right in front of you.

Love is not a whim. Love is not a flower that fades with a few fleeting years. Love is a choice wedded to action, my husband, and I choose you, and I will choose you every day for the rest of my life.

You might want to think twice before you try to use a man's conscience against him. It may turn out he doesn't have one.

Words were another sword for the man who wielded them well.

And what fun is it being a genius if no one appreciates you?

I’ll spend my life training just for the moment I have my chance at you. I’ll wait until you think I’ve forgotten today. I’ll wait until you think it was just a dumb guild rat’s threat. After I’m a master, you’ll jump at shadows for a while. But after you jump a dozen times and I’m not there, you won’t jump just once, and that’s when I’ll be there. I don’t care if you kill me at the same time. I’ll trade my life for yours.
