I might have to drink the blood of animals to stay alive, but I would never feast on one of my own kind, no matter what Mr.Crepsley said, or hows much my belly growled.

I don't think anyone ever remembers what they were really like as kids. Adults think they do, but they don't. Photos and videos don't capture the real you, or bring back to life the person you used to be. You have to return to the past to do that.

The thing about real life is, when you do something stupid, it normally costs you.

I'd like to do something to help the worst afflicted, but I can't. It's not possible to save everybody. Even heroes have their all-too-human limits.

...The pain didn't bother me. In fact, I welcome it: It meant I was alive.

Better not to start down a wrong path at all than head down it in the hope of making a detour when something better came along.

When it comes to impending, unavoidable extinction, ignorance is bliss.
