“Life is pain...anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something”

“Life is both pain and pleasure. If this is the price you must pay for the hours you enjoy, is it too much?”

“You cannot learn what you are made of if you rely on anyone or anything else to help you.”

“I have a new name for pain. What’s that?The Obliterator. Because when you’re in pain, nothing else can exist. Not thought. Not emotion. Only the drive to escape the pain. When it’s strong enough, the Obliterator strips us of everything that makes us who we are, until we’re reduced to creatures less than animals, creatures with a single desire and goal: escape. A good name, then.”

“Pain is pain. It needs no description.”

“The trickster, the riddler, the keeper of balance, he of the many faces who finds life in death and who fears no evil; he who walks through doors.”

“Brom bowed his head. "Those who love the pain and suffering of others. They wear many faces and go by many disguises, but there is only one name for them: evil. There is no understanding it. All we can do is pity and honor the victims.”
