who deserves to die.

children are deemed innocent but yet, we would be the cause of them growing up without a mother, a father, both.

i’d be damned if i did that to someone else.

what happened to you. happens to use should never happen. but do we set flames that burn beyond what we can —

and i won’t back down from who i am or what i believe in. i believe we can make this a better place together.

because who are we to deem what is innocent and what isn’t? how do you measure a life? because that is what we’d have to do.

who is evil and who is good. who is right and who is wrong. —

You speak with the nobility of one who still believes in mercy and I do not scorn that belief.

It is what makes you .... Human, and in some ways, that is what makes us worth saving.... But there are moments when mercy is a luxury we cannot afford.

Once you accept that protecting your people may demand cruel measures, you must temper that acceptance with purpose and restraint.

We judge by deeds, not by fear or whim, we strike to prevent extinction, not to sate hatred, that is where we stop:

We are not going to kill every human! Only the humans who must die.

I do not understand: not long ago I was subjected to experiments, and now I am supposed to let the monsters continue their research?

Why? Why almost everyone is against killing the monsters ?
