“For he or she that harbours no fear has never truly loved anything. You can only measure true love by the thought and fear of its loss.”

“Try not to be in a hurry to get older because youth happens once in your life. Thereafter, old age stays with you forever.”

“You can give me anything?" he asked."Anything!" Lucifer cried."Anything I ask for?""Anything you desire!""Can you give me love?" Ammon asked him. "Can you take away my sins? Can you give me salvation? Are you willing to die for me? Can you give me the love of my family and the love of my friends? Can you promise me anything besides what you have shown me here? Can you give me the love of my Father, or my older brother, Jehovah, the Christ?”

“I was born and raised on steel riverI see it all like it was yesterdayThe ships and bridges they were all deliveredFrom Sydney harbour to the Cisco bayAnd I met my love down on steel riverWe served our dreams and spent our childhood daysIn rainy streets we'd kiss away the shiversAnd hide from fear inside the latest crazeDancing to MotownMaking love with Carole King record playingAnd oh how I loved youSay goodbye steel river”

“You are wrong. If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I've seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.”

“That was what true love was supposed to be about. Couples slobbering all over each other, only just able to let each other out of sight long enough to go to the loo. True love was not furtively checking your email, while your other half is in the bathroom to see if you have a message from someone you met out once. True love shouldn't be disappointed when your ex writes with the news that another old girlfriend is back on the scene.'Fuck' she couldn't do this. She couldn't keep pretending. Not a single day longer.”

“Fear runs our lives a lot of the time. You can face it head-on, or you can hide in your bunker.”
