About This Quote

I laughed under my breath, and it sounded bitter. “Listen to me. What am I talking about, worth it? Is any experience or bit of beauty worth the cost of my life? I know nothing but safety and self-preservation at all costs.”“And yet,” he said softly, “you’re risking everything to help me. You do not know who I am or what I represent.

Yet you are willing to trust me with your life and the lives of your friends and family. This is not a decision you should make lightly, not in good conscience. It is a decision that only a fool would make.

And we both know that you are not a fool."
