“How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“It’s his pathological move. I get it.” “I don’t know the term.” “It’s the thing people do when they’re working on instinct.

― James S.A. Corey, The Mercy of Gods
