“When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity upon me”

“Why is there ever this perverse cruelty in humankind, that makes us hurt most those we love best?”

“We speak of stories ending, when in truth it is we who end. The stories go on and on.”

“If you thought better of me, you would not be so surprised”

“If I had to fall from Cassiel's grace, at least I know it took a courtesan worthy of Kings to do it.”

“It is my observations, though, that happiness limits the amount of suffering one is willing to inflict upon others”

“Quando l'Amore mi ha scacciata, è stata la Crudeltà ad avere pietà di me.”
