Enemy
Quotes - Measure yourself against the enemy before declaring war
“I
hadn't felt like Rhysand's enemy the last time I'd spoken to him, in the hours
after Amarantha's defeat. I'd told no one about that meeting, what he'd said to
me, what I'd confessed to him.
Be
glad of your human heart, Feyre. Pity those who don't feel anything at all.”

by moving out of fear and hatred can we
truly
manifest the vision of our founders--

but
the theoretical vision to which they aspired.

Fear
and hatred are the enemies.”

“In
tennis who is it that provides a person with the obstacles he needs in order to
experience his highest limits? His opponent, of course! Then is your opponent a
friend or an enemy? He is a friend to the extent that he does his best to make
things difficult for you. Only by playing the role of your enemy does he become
your true friend. Only by competing with you does he in fact cooperate! No one
wants to stand around on the court waiting for the big wave. In this use of
competition it is the duty of your opponent to create the greatest possible
difficulties for you, just as it is yours to try to create obstacles for him.
Only by doing this do you give each other the opportunity to find out to what
heights each can rise.”
