Quotes[]
- Dante: No one is actually kind. We are selfish. We are brutal. Come on, even seeing all of those heads on spikes didn't teach you what people are?
....
- Gabriel Stokes: Did you even have a son?
- Dante: Why does that matter?
- Gabriel Stokes: I guess it doesn't. It was one of the things I liked about you.
- Dante: That my son was killed?
- Gabriel Stokes: That you had a family. I suppose you'd like me to never trust anyone ever again.
- Dante: It's a meaningless idea.
....
- Dante: It doesn't matter. None of this matters, watching our people get incinerated, devoured, you see how ridiculous it is getting attached to ourselves, but knowing that sets you free.
- Carol Peletier: Is that what you're doing, setting us free?
- Dante: If you learn that lesson, it will only help you.
- Daryl Dixon: You must want us to be like you.
- Dante: Accept the future.
- Gabriel Stokes: Siddiq depended on you. Why put him through all that hell in the barn, just to kill him months later? I can't see an ideology behind that.
