“He is absurdly young to be so wise—by which I mean he’s a year or two younger than you and I—and is a northerner from a small village not far from here. He is tall and slim and has blue eyes, does not let me win arguments if he has the better information, and has never once asked me to procure him land or a noble spouse. In fact, I almost think he doesn’t want anything at all from me. Except for, dare I say, me?”

“I feel like being run over by a train: how couldn't I see, or care? I have much more than I need when it comes to material things as well as opportunities. I can basically do everything I want. Sure, my parents can still tell me where to go or what to do, but they don‟t impose their views on me. They will never marry me off. They will never forbid me to go to school. They will always do their best to make sure I‟ll be happy, healthy and safe. And what have I done to deserve all this? Absolutely nothing. It was a chance of luck, and that makes me responsible toward those who have not been as lucky as me.”
