"And given what I’ve told you, you probably think that I’ve suffered a lot in life. It’s not true and besides, I’ve been there already. I’ve known other men who wanted to ‘protect’ me from all those tragedies. What they forget is that from Ancient Greece on, the people who returned from battle were either dead on their shields or stronger, despite or because of their scars. It’s better that way: I’ve lived on a battlefield since I was born, but I’m still alive and I don’t need anyone to protect me.” - The Witch of Portobello"
