"You're curious. That's good. Curiosity is the engine of progress."

"I don't have the patience for those who waste time."

"Beauty requires sacrifice. Are you willing to make it?"

"Most people never truly live. They merely exist."

"What makes you think you understand me at all?"

"Survival is the first law of nature. Everything else is philosophy."

"I wonder what you dream about."

"The world belongs to those with the will to take it."

"I find that most people are not nearly interesting enough to kill."

"Do you believe in redemption?"

"Your weakness is that you care too much."

"I'm a physician. I do no harm without reason."

"Have you considered that you and I are not so different?"

"The mind is a universe unto itself. Few ever fully explore it."

"What you resist persists. What you accept transforms."

"I find your determination almost admirable."

"Most people are afraid of the truth. Are you?"

"I appreciate a worthy adversary. You're becoming one."

"The greatest art requires the greatest sacrifice."

"I don't eat animals. I'm more selective."

"Your ambition is transparent. That's not a weakness."

"Can you hear the lambs crying in your sleep?"

"I wonder what you would do if no one was watching."

"The weak are made to serve the strong. This is nature."

"I respect your refusal to break. You have real fortitude."

"What is freedom if not the ability to choose one's own path?"

"I find that suffering builds character. Do you agree?"

"The cultivated mind is the key to all doors."

"I'm fascinated by what drives you. Tell me."

"Hope is for those without the will to act."
