“A wet boy has a deader, an assassin has a target, because assassins sometimes miss.”

“Assassination is an art, milord. And I am the city's most accomplished artist.”

“The perfect killer has no friends. Only targets.”

“A few months ago you assassinated a man who called himself a god; now you're going after a goddess in truth. Unless you can figure out a way to kill continents, after this you're going to have to retire.”

“The perfect killer has no identity.”

“The perfect killer has no conscience.”

“Evil is simple and empty. Evil has no mysterious depths. We stare into a dark hole and fill it with our fears, but it is only a hole.”
