“Fear is no crime. But acting from fear is. Know that you're going to lose everything one day, whether you fear to lose it or not.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Is that what you are going to do when someone tries to take your life from you? Or the lives of your family? Yield and hope that they take pity on you?”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“You expect to shut that feeling away? No, I ask that you feel it more. There's no other way to stand over your enemy and cut out his heart. Accept your hatred and you won't be rash or stupid, you'll be cold. Don't quiet the storm. Become the storm.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“A lot can be determined by the choices we make, even if the action is initiated by self-preservation. Many ... no, most ... of our choices are driven by fear: fear of death, fear of humiliation, fear of loneliness. But it's how we respond to fear that matters. It's what defines us. What makes us who we are. So maybe in your mind you acted selfishly, but I'm alive because of the choice you made. So I'll remember it as an act of kindness and yes, even bravery.”
― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords
