    And if your master truly loved you, he would tell you that. In order to escape the bounds of earthly experience, you bind yourself to a master. Bound is bound. If your master really loved you, he would not demand your devotion. He would set you free--from himself, first of all.

Violence fertilizes that which we would starve. But Debbie, we can't love the dull away either.

Love is very powerful, but it has limits and it's a costly mistake to spread it too thin.
