To Fire Or to Water
Galen:The answer is still “no.”Dureena:I didn’t say anything.Galen:That was the look you gave me the last time you asked me to teach you what I know. The answer was “no” then, and it is “no” now.Dureena:Why?!Galen:Because there is a time and place for everything, and right now is the wrong time. You want to learn for the worst of all possible reasons: the need for revenge.Dureena:The Drakh killed my entire race! And they will do the same to yours…and you don’t want revenge?!Galen:[sternly] When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide whether to go to the left or to the right—to fire or to water. If you make those decisions before you have even set foot upon the road, it will take you nowhere. Except to a bad end.Dureena:I don’t understand.Galen:That’s why I said “no.” When you have grown out of your rage then we will talk. Not before.— “Racing the Night” – Crusade, Season 1 (1999)
