Quotes about: Fighting

If you say my work is fighting, or healing, or exploring, or whatever you might say, I'll always be thinking about it. And if I do end up doing that, I'll be resentful because it'll feel as if I didn't have a choice, and if I don't do it, I'll feel guilty because I should. Whatever I do, I will choose it, no one else.

• Half a dozen brats turned with expressions of derision, and Lyra threw her cigarette down, recognizing the cue for a fight.
