One year became two. And from two, it spread into an endless time, so it seemed. Three, four, five years would pass. And there was peace.

We can wear the rings, and we’ll know. Okay? And that’s enough for me, if it’s enough for you.

You play really well. But nowadays, white, male, cis composers...just not my thing.

You, my child, my dear child, you forgive others with excuses, that you would never in the world permit for yourself.

You should be merciful, when there is time to be merciful. But you must maintain your own standard. You owe them that.

The penalty you deserve for your transgressions, they deserve for their transgressions. Does every human being need to be accountable for their action? Of course they do. But you don’t even give them that chance. All that is extremely arrogant.

I love you. I love you. I love you to death! But you are the most arrogant person I’ve ever met. And you call me arrogant!”
