"When I take something from a man - his ship, his money, his life - I don't hide behind a clerk. I don't hide behind the law. I don't hide behind anything. I look him in his eye and I give him every chance to deny me. That, is legitimate."

                                                 - Charles Vane | Black Sails



"You're an educated man, my lord, but I think it worth reminding you that in most cases a man trying to change the world fails for one simple and unavoidable reason... everyone else."
      
                                              - James McGraw | Black Sails



"Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced that I am yours, I will be it."

                                                 - Captain Flint | Black Sails



"All this will be for nothing. We will have been for nothing. Defined by their histories, distorted to fit into their narrative, until all that is left of us are the monsters in the stories they tell their children."

                                                 - Captain Flint | Black Sails



"There is a place not far from here where strong men live lives of pleasure, not labor, a place where you could be feared and respected once again. Follow me, and I will show you what life is."

                                                 - Charles Vane | Black Sails
