“I would rather be a devil in alliance with truth, than an angel in alliance with falsehood.”
“In order to forge alliances, we first need worthy adversaries. Without adversaries, no alliances are necessary.”
“Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.”
“I find, that, in general, alliances based on friendship are the only things that last. Not alliances based on words and letters.”
“Here was a flower (the daisy reflected) strangely like itself and yet utterly unlike itself too. Such a paradox has often been the basis for the most impassioned love.”
