“Fire consumes, but cold preserves.”
“The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.”
“It is not the love a man of God should feel. It is a dark, bleak, consuming love. It is a cold fire that withers me from within. A love based on lust and hunger, a love born of base instinct and animal craving. It is Mephistopheles’ love.”
“No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed.”
“Those who play with fire should expect to be consumed by it.”
“A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.”
