"I ask people impertinent questions. Hopefully turning up pertinent answers."

Curiosity

"Harry, life isn't simple. There is such a thing as black and white. Right and wrong. But when you're in the thick of things, sometimes it's hard for us to tell. You didn't do what you did for your own benefit. You did it so that you could protect others. That doesn't make it right - but it doesn't make you a monster, either. You still have free will. You still get to choose what you will do and what you will be and what you will become."

Trained. Defended. And he's been an example. No single one of us can ever be what he was. But together, maybe we can."

Legacy

Family

"So. You get handed a holy sword by an archangel, told to go fight the forces of evil, and you somehow remain an atheist. Is that what you're saying?"

Belief

"Everything was perfectly healthy and normal here in Denial Land."

Denial
