They don’t hate you, my child. They hate what you were meant to become.
I won't let your ignorance silence my pain.
Courage does not always roar. Valor does not always shine.
We are all children of blood and bone. All instruments of vengeance and virtue.
You have your duty, but I have mine.
I am a lionaire, and I will do what I must.
Fear can be a good thing. It can keep you alive.
The truth cuts like the sharpest knife I've ever known.
In the end, we are all our ancestors' wildest dreams.
It doesn't matter how strong I get. I will always need you.
You cannot run from the truth. It will always find you.
The world only respects strength.
