"Absolutely." He nodded. "I couldn't agree more."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

"Certainly not. I don't feel like a mistake. I serve my master and do my best. I have a purpose."

"You have a purpose that could have been filled otherwise. Instead, your master created you knowing you would likely be exterminated if found out."

"He treats you as a slave, not a friend. Nothing you provide could not have been provided by taking on an understudy."

"Understudies aren't specialized," Hieronymus said stiffly. "I'm specialized and valued by my master!"

"I can read and write, and my memory is excellent. An understudy would surely grow bored."

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
