(Un)Forgotten lesson

What a lesson I confirmed yesterday. Below the text with the gift of prose.

Let me give you some counsel, monster. Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

And don't forget that all deformities make the cripple a bastard in their father's eyes. Some person, no doubt about it. Most of them are. Remember this, boy, cripples are deformed but not all deformities need to cripple you.
