You never will know what will be enough if you make some kind of sacrifice like this and it goes wrong.

Everything you could do with the rest of your life, every glyph you could invent, every mission you could undertake, every treatise you could write, every battle you could win--you think one debt you've invented for yourself outweighs all of it, and everyone who loves you besides?

Andraste's pyre, Myr, you make it sound like you're halfway to inventing a cure for Tranquility, and you'd throw a mind like that away just to use yourself as a laboratory mouse out of some misguided sense of justice? You don't think--repairing, and rebuilding, and bringing something good out of the ashes, you don't think that's enough?

Why is that never enough for anyone? [Had he any less self-control, the note of desperation there could be a wail.]
