- "Tell me something, Mr. Guthrie. Do you have gossip here?" - "Gossip?" - "I've often wondered if it can survive in so remote a location. You see, gossip is what holds civilization together: it reinforces shame, and without shame... well, the world is a very dangerous place."

- " That man Hume, the captain of the Scarborough, told you as much. When a king brands us pirates, he doesn't mean to make us adversaries; he doesn't mean to make us criminals. He means to make us monsters. For that's the only way his God-fearing, taxpaying subjects can make sense of men who keep what is theirs and fear no one. When I say there's a war coming, I don't mean with the Scarborough; I don't mean with King George or England. Civilization is coming and it means to exterminate us."

- "So this is the lesson... the pirates of New Providence Island are incorrigible, dedicated to mayhem: to attempt to address this subject is doomed to defeat from the outset." - "It's not him I wanted you to see; it's them [the crowd]." Civilization needs its monsters." - "You think Whitehall wants piracy to flourish in the Bahamas?" - "No, I don't think they want it, but I think they're aware of the cost associated with trying to fight it. And I think that that sound travels. You're an educated man, my Lord, but I think it worth reminding you that in most cases a man trying to change the world fails for one simple and unavoidable reason... everyone else."

James Flint Appreciation Week -  Favorite Scene

There are over 100 soldiers on that beach, sworn upon their lives to protect that gold. In a matter of hours, they'll dispatch teams to search for threats. In a matter of days, they'll locate our wreck and our camp, and they will kill every last member of your crew.

And they'll deserve it, none more so than you.

They paint the world full of shadows and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. Know no shame

Happy Pride! :)

James/Thomas appreciation week - Day 7 

Quote/Song: “I didn’t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we’d choose anyway. And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”   - Kiersten White, ‘The Chaos of Stars’

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting,  because I’m not who I used to be.  No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below, who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for: 

both a beginning and an end.
