“Who says life is fair, where is that written?”

“Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.”

“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”

“I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard.”

“Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.”
