"It has always seemed to me that a coward is a person who cares more about what people say than about what is right. Bravery isn't about what people call you, Spensa. It's about who you know yourself to be."
"Deato mendea valus febletta. The Gods give every man a weakness"
"If your heart beats like a drum, and your legs a little wet, it’s because the Reaper’s come to collect a little debt."
β€œNo one will understand you. It is not, ultimately, that important. What is important is that you understand you.”
β€œFriendships take minutes to make, moments to break, years to repair.”
β€œThe legacy you inherit is nothing compared to the legacy you leave behind.”
"The measure of a man is what he does when he has power"
β€œLove is a beautiful thing. Is it not, Inspector?”
"We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'."
