“Love’s a knife with pain and ecstasy converging at the piercing tip.”

“He brought the knife down. Helplessly, Nicholas watched it head for his chest, but before but before it got there, a hand flew out of nowhere to meet it. The knife passed through the hand like it was water, but the the hilt jammed into the palm, trapping it an inch before the knife point could pierce Nicholas's chest. Albert turned in confusion to see Simon standing there with the knife clear through his hand. He looked too amazed to feel the pain."Simon? But your useless," Albert said, shocked."I'm just as surprised as you are," Simon replied,”

“Do you know what it’s like to kill a man? You just pushed a knife into living, moving skin and you realize you pierced a heart that beats against your sharp knife.-Lucas Tyrel”

“such fickle days of love when pain and ecstasy share the same hour”

“What is next to ecstasy?Pain.What is next to pain?Nothingness.What is next to nothingness?Hell.”

“This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.”
