Those are the days that I miss. -Huntress and Oliver, S1: E7, Arrow”

“Sooner or later, we all go through a crucible. I'm guessing your's was that island. Most believe there are two types of people who go into a crucible: the ones who grow stronger from the experience and survive it, and the ones who die.
