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?

Okay, there's racism just like there was back home, Tony. Right here. On this little island. It's not as bad. I don't have a horde of bible beating Baptists trying to find me in their crosshairs. That is what this is about. It's humans and elves. Nothing in between, and guess who's grabbed the wrong end of the pooh stick. I'm not human, I'm not shamed enough to hide behind them either. Or the 'title'.

And the people I care about should feel shame, why? Because they're not a fucking fae creature? Tony I'd take one of you on your worst day, over ten of them.

I can't let it escalate to what it was at home. There aren't 198 here. There's me, and there's X. I have a son, and my brother that I have to protect. She has two babies that she swore to take care of, while her best friend lay dying.

They were ready to wage war on the Dragonriders, because they rode dragons onto the island. One very close to death. If that's what all it takes, who's next?

If three little quotes that aren't even mine make them pause and at least think... Then what could it hurt?

This wasn't about Dorian Gray. No I don't trust him, but I can count the people I do on two hands, and I probably have fingers left over. But how can I afford to trust anyone so easily?

So there, you have it. You stripped me clean. Happy now?
