Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
~
Through dangers untold
and hardships unnumbered,
I have fought my way here to the castle
beyond the goblin city,
to take back the child
that you have stolen.
For my will is as strong as yours,
and my kingdom is as great—
You have no power over me.
