They paint the world full of shadows… and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn’t true. We can prove that it isn’t true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it.

They say it started with a man named Henry Avery. Sailed into the port of Nassau, bribed the colonial governor to look past his sins, encamped his crew upon the beach and thus began the pirate issue on New Providence Island. Where and when will it all end? I suppose that’s where you and I come into the story.

You truly believe it is possible? That as disadvantaged and disabled as we are, that anything we do here is going to make the least bit of difference to the men in London?

Black Sails Rewatch – 3×04

Tomorrow we can be on our way to anywhere in the world with enough money to live however we like. Even where we was when we started. Some people might even call that success.
Fuck those people.
We got the world right now. Any part of it we choose.
We were so close to accomplishing something that would have written our names into history. There’s no piece of the world for sale that can replace that.
It ain’t good and it ain’t f a i r. But it is what it is.
