"Choose someone as a successor and you will be succeeded.
Choose someone hungrier and you will be devoured.
Choose someone quicker and you won't dodge the blade at your back.
Choose someone with more patience and you won't block the blade at your throat.
Choose someone more devious and you'll hold the blade that kills you.
Choose someone more clever and you'll never know your end.
Despite these cautions, an apprentice is essential.
A Master without an apprentice is a Master of nothing."
- Count Dooku
I'm not anything like you
So don't put me on your level
You wouldn't last a minute in my shoes
I wouldn't want to take a step in yours.
You are a hypocrite
And I despise your everything
I put it all on the line for you
And you just threw it away
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me!"
- Sith Code
