For matters of truth and goodness,
the harder it is to do what is right,
the harder we must strive.– Stonepeace
From ‘Manifest Destiny : Nightcrawler #1’ by Jason Aaron:
Nightcrawler: Henrik! Henrik! Stop this! (about to kill an old man in anger, who was out among others to kill him)
Henrik: Why?!
Nightcrawler: Because – this is it. What you are doing… You will never be Henrik again. Not to anyone in this land. Not to yourself. You will only be this creature. This vielfras (hodgepodge of various creature).
Henrik: They left me with no other choice!
Nightcrawler: You are wrong, mein freund (my friend). There is always a choice. I say this from personal experience. A hard-won understanding that when you look like us – or like so many mutants who have been persecuted – you have to be a better man than the rest, just to come out even. And it isn’t fair. And it isn’t easy. But the only other option is – that you become the monster they think you are.
You let others become demons
when you let them demonise you.– Stonepeace
