Three key quotes that everyone should know and take to heart. Because there are far to many people who think themselves smart, or 'wise', on this island, yet close themselves off to learning anything new about anyone or anything.

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
-William Shakespeare

“To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.”
-Lao-Tzu

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
-Socrates

They all three say close to the same thing. And all three men knew what they said to be true about themselves.

My question is, are you going to die the fool? Or will you become wise before you die?

I'm not denying anyone anything, I'm the one that's being denied. With anyone else who even half way resembles a human.

Because it's called growth and survival. Either you grow, adapt and survive, or you don't. If I remained what I was before I was kidnapped by the train that took me I'd be here alone, and every time the spire flashed that brilliant light that told me someone was here, I'd go on the hunt. But instead, I changed, I adapted. I did what was best for others, not what was best for me.

He has enough experience to treat everyone that isn't like him with disgust. There are words for that in my world, racist, sexist, and simple discrimination. When he treats the people around him better, then he deserves better, but as long as he belittles, and lifts his nose toward the sky, then he doesn't deserve any better than what he gives.

There are very few people that I wouldn't put myself in front of, if it meant they would live and I would die. And their age has nothing to do with why I would or why I wouldn't. Their skill has nothing to do with why I would, and why I wouldn't.
