• I saw what I had been fighting for: It was for me, a scared child, who had run away a long time ago to what I had imagined was a safer place.

You are whole, with or without them.

• That the sum of a man's life was not where he wound up but in the details that brought him there. That we made mistakes.

• I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are.

When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished.
