Maybe I just have a fixation with his mouth or something, but I love watching James Norton eat. Maybe it’s in his contract that he always eats in his movies or shows or something so that his sugar doesn’t drop too low. I can make that joke. I’m genetically predisposed to diabetes.

- ❛ Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy. ❜

- ❛ If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself. ❜

- ❛ When one’s head is gone one doesn’t weep over one’s hair! ❜
- ❛ For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed? ❜
- ❛ He did what heroes do after their work is accomplished; he died. ❜
- ❛ Life is too long to say anything definitely; always say perhaps. ❜
- ❛ Everything ends in death, everything. Death is terrible. ❜
- ❛ The distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable. ❜
- ❛ How often we sin, how much we deceive, and all for what? ❜
- ❛ The wolves should be fed and the sheep kept safe. ❜
