So, if the Genite attacks are fake, then Tyr is working with the Drago-Kazovs? Nah, I don't buy it.
But you buy the "warm and fuzzy" Tyr, concerned for his fellow Nietzscheans?
No, I didn't say that.

In a fair fight with them, we'd be fried.
Well, then, we'll have to make sure we don't fight fair.
There's only one way to fight a superior opponent.

Well, that I wouldn't know – I've never fought a superior opponent.
Remember my admonition about becoming complacent? About forgetting what it means to test our will against the universe? Well, now we have to!
It's an invitation. Whatever it is it wants to play, to fight, or make love with us.
RSVP.
Nice move, boss, the old slingshot maneuver. Plus a little luck.
Well, sometimes I think luck is just another word for "fate."
Yeah, well, I'm feeling particularly fatalistic right now.
Why is it we look for luck every time we're in danger?
Because that's when we need it most.
Well, the thing about luck is... the balance changes.
What about fate?
Fate is a hunter.
Wait a minute, how come I get to go for a change?
Because I want you with me.
This is something shady, isn't it?
The Commonwealth is still hailing us, and they're mad. They say this is the last warning.
That's what they said five "last warnings" ago.
They're waiting for authorization. God bless bureaucracy!
[speaking of a mythical vase] I mean, when I was little, my mom told me that it was so powerful that nobody could be trusted with it, not even Vedrans. Weren't you at least a little tempted to put it together and see what it did?
[wording from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice] Well, there's something else that my mom taught me. "All that glitters is not gold."
So, uh, the vase. It doesn't do a thing, does it? It's worthless.
It's a symbol. Zeus and Abelard believed that it would bring them power. But to me, it represents the highest confidence in faith that we all put in the Commonwealth.
Well that's good. Cuz, three people murdered, one in jail collecting dust, and another one on the run with his gun in the sun for all eternity. A lot of time and energy wasted and all for a worthless hunk 'a glass... It is worthless... right?
Did I say it was worthless? No. It's priceless. And isn't that the value of all dreams?

Once you've lived an extended period of doing without, you never take having for granted. Once you've crawled on your stomach for what seemed like days silting for water, once you've lived with so much pain... You get to close to death, you get focused on what you want. Come on, Dylan. When's the last time you lived without?
Well, I uh... I had 303 years once, frozen in a black hole, doing without life or food.

You know, if you weren't so intensely self-absorbed, you'd realize that all of life is a balance between the emptiness of eternity and the need to make art to remind ourselves we were here.
I had an epiphany like that once. Then I mercilessly beat someone until it went away.
[sarcastically] Oh well you know me with percentages, Rommie. I like to take a big gamble every day because I might be walking around lucky and not even know it.
Sometimes the situation requires that we hold the hand of our enemy. The difficult part is not letting them see you while you use the other hand to draw the knife.
