Xena and Gabrielle in “Chakram”

Xena

I can’t help wondering if we’re doing the right thing. Restoring this darkness, my violence. Can that really be good?

Gabrielle

I think it’s vital. I know that sounds strange coming from me. I think you have to know the darkest part of yourself to be whole.

Xena

But this way I harm no one.

Gabrielle

But Xena, what about the people who harm others? Xena, you have this balance of lightness and darkness. Without both of those, the very best in you is defenseless.
