"Subjugating the world to your rule is not saving it. You would create a wasteland and call it peace."
"Do not misquote Tacitus to me. I knew him well. I have lived long enough to watch civilizations rise and fall. You weep for your son. I have held dozens of my children as they perished from old age. You might be a Time Master, but I'm a master of time. And I play a far deeper game than you could ever hope to comprehend.
