Ben: Suppose you have a thoughtless six-year-old. What harm can he do?
Kvothe: Not much.
B: Suppose he’s twenty, and still thoughtless, how dangerous is he?
K: Still not much, but more than before.
B: What if you give him a sword?
K: More, much more. I understand, Ben. Really I do. Power is okay, and stupidity is usually harmless. Power and stupidity together are dangerous.
B: I never said stupid. You’re clever. We both know that. But you can be thoughtless. A clever, thoughtless person is one of the most terrifying things there is. Worse, I’ve been teaching you some dangerous things.
