“To live a life well, to have no regrets, be you fish, maiden, or even a damnable legger. To close your eyes and know that there was peace in the beyond and to smile because now the pain would soon be over and there’d be nothing more beyond that but joy. Yes, there was beauty in death.”

“Or one time, I’d even managed to restrain my violent temper when a pack of bawdy sailors had kidnapped one of my sea maidens, attempting to rape her.

I was rather proud of myself for that level of restraint.”

“There seems to be this increasing belief that having different opinions on things somehow makes you opponents on everything, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.”
