“When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity upon me”
“I've fallen in love with you. I love you even now when you sit before me with the eyes of a wolf. So take pity upon the fool I have become. I forgot it was only a bargain between us.”
“The cruelty of fate is that I must travel with the people I hate when the people I love are dead behind me.”
“It seems to me that a man who is incapable of humor is capable of cruelty.”
“Was that pity? I think it was. No wonder, I even pity myself. Will the pity make her love me? Make her take me home with her and look after me like the plant? Fucking bastard smug plant.”
“Damn it, Lettie. Marry me. For pity's sake, marry me and put me out of my misery.”
