You disagree with my methods? That is the price of getting what we want. If I want my people to be given the bare minimum of respect, they must force it.
So we force it. We are not a kind people, we are not a palatable people.
What we are is strong, and able to do so much more than anyone gives us credit for. You say I was once that man, but the real secret is the man before could never have seen it made manifest. That man was killed to make the man who could do it.
I'm not hiding anywhere, Kaladin. I cannot bring him out, because he is already here.. I'm what I had to be. This is precisely the one with potential. Not only that, it is the one that must exist to have it in hand. There was no other answer, only the results of the base violence necessary for change.
