Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

"There is a face beneath this mask, but it is not me. I am no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath them."

I've hurt a lot of people, ya' know. I've hurt them because they hurt other people, innocent people. But I can never hurt you, not again. When I saw those grey eyes fill with those tears of total sadness and complete hatred, I promised myself to never hurt you again. I could never look into those cloud like eyes, and see a storm brewing again. I will always save you, I will always love you, I will protect you. Because you're my friend. And I can't disappoint you again.

Identity is something that you are constantly earning. It is not just who you are. It is a process that you must be active in.
