                  "Ah. You know, the reports of my death, they weren't even exaggerated a little bit. Yeah, I'm .. I'm dead. But, you know, I missed you, and how often do dead people get second chances?"

                          "Interesting that you place all your emphasis on the second half of that sentence. Is it not just as honorable to live for The One as it is to die? It doesn't just say 'we die'. It says 'we live'. Dying is not honorable. It only relieves you of an even greater obligation."

                            "You said death was merely one of two consequences, neither valued or feared above the other. Death is only a release from our obligations. Why then are you afraid, Shakiri? Have you put your
                            own importance above our own people?"

                                "I said we surrender. I did not say that we gave up our sovereign rights to form a new government. Dukhat said that in every battle one side or the other must surrender eventually. It's the natural order of things, There's no dishonor in that, no shame. We recognize the superior forces of the warrior caste. We have, after all, spent several centuries arming you, helping you learn the art of combat. What threat are we against that?"
