You read too much and understand too little.

hope is like a piece of string when you’re drowning; it just isn’t enough to get you out by itself.

When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.

When you wish for so long that you could hear something, and then suddenly, with no warning, you do, it is like a lightning strike and rain on parched ground at the same time. You're stunned, but you cannot hear enough.

Tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.

What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.

Most of those we call heroes only did what they had to do.
