    Ellen Hopkins
    “Some people
    Are worthy of a bullet straight
    to the heart because that is where
    cruelty evolves into evil.
    Some
    humans aren't human at all,
    despite how they appear.
    Humanity is what lives inside
    people,
    harbored beneath skin, flesh,
    and bone.”

    George R.R. Martin
    “Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”

A bullet for historical malaise. A bullet for inevitable momentum. The two other bullets are impossible to name, but that doesn't mean the chambers were empty.”
